Spirits of the Dead
I
Thy soul shall find itself alone
'Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone—
Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy:
II
Be silent in that solitude
Which is not loneliness—for then
The spirits of the dead who stood
In life before thee are again
In death around thee—and their will
Shall overshadow thee: be still.
-Edgar Allan Poe
People always say from Dark comes Light. For every Good there must be Evil. Embrace Life to the fullest. But why do we think that way? What if you're trapped in a place where no Light shines through or when Evil strikes, and there is no Good to defeat it. We take Life for granted as if it is something that will never go away. Death will come, Evil will strike, Light will not shine through. An impending Doom that lives in us all. Some choose to accept and embrace it, other ignore or a too ignorant to realize.
Fog rolled around every headstone, a mystic look that gave you the feeling something was wrong, something bad would happen. Full moon shining through the clouds, streams of light plastered perfectly on the names carved in every marble piece. If you looked closely enough at them all, no date of birth or passing. No reason of death.
Nothing could be heard, all silence except for the slight rustle of the grass beneath your bare feet. Walking isle down isle, not quite sure where you're going, but something is drawing you in farther and farther. Suddenly, you find yourself staring at the only tomb around. A chilling scream echoes all around you and you notice the name scribed in the stone… Jaden Volteri…
"Jade! Jade, wake up! Talk to me, come on baby."
Waking up to a cold sweat, heart racing, ears ringing, and your boyfriend shaking and screaming at you is not the most pleasant thing to happen first thing in the morning.
"What the Hell are you doing!"
"You were having a nightmare. You were screaming bloody-murder for God's sake. Ya' scared the living piss out of me!" Ross stated with fear in his eyes. "Just…just lay back down babe, go back to sleep. I'll get you some water."
'What the hell happened… I haven't had a dream like that in ages…You're going insane Jade, that's all it is. Ross is here, you're safe…
