THIRTY NINE STEPS


THIRTY NINE STEPS

Thirty nine steps to the open door.
A broken mirror on the floor.
Crackling fire from the log.
The howling of the neighbors dog.

A sudden chill through out the house.
The cat gives chase to a mouse.
Darkness all around.
What the hell is that creepy sound ?

A shadow stares with red eyes.
I scream but no one can hear my cries !
I feel cold and hot.
I try to move but I can not.

It is so unfair that I be stuck in my chair.
If I could run the 39 steps would I be free?
I just don’t know,
maybe?
I pray for the chance to see.
