Dark Shadows

Dark shadows

in the morning mist

the ferryman

all in  black emerges

tall thin alone

to collect those

who have summonds him

 

They cross his palm

with silver

he - who must

be obeyed

take their charge

back into the mist

never to be seen

again

 

I am lost in the mist

your are

the tall dark

shadow

I think you must have read

I think you must have read my mind on this one! This one matches my mood. I have one that is similar, titled: "Paradise of the Dead" take a look if you get a chance. (a typo: summonds= summond) Cat
