Redemption

Redemption

Buried beneath the gnarly oak tree

In redemption cemetery

A witch they say

Under a tombΒ stained gray

Guarded by accursed pet

So the fools shant forget

A tree sparse of life

Ravaged by a carving knife

Engraved with deep despair

Entombed with holy prayer

Embittered ravens await

For callous accusers fate

Tick tock one by one

A pendulum has spun

Grim collects damned souls

As a clock tower tolls

When the last is gone

As time marches on

There’s quietude in her tomb

An oak tree will bloom

Really eerie feeling with this. There's something bewitching about an old oak any time much less in a cemetery! Really great dark feeling you are able to make us feel as readers. Thanks for another great read. -Mimi. xx
