THE RELIC...

THE RELIC...

An old archaic heirloom
Sits upon the mantelpiece
Dusty and deserted
A dainty, quaint antique

His love for finding knick knacks
Was an obvious reflection
For every corner in his house
Comprised the mans collection

Yet one ornament had found it's way
Into the old man's home
Unaware..of just how rare
Or where it had come from?
Ā Ā Ā  Was about to become known....

For last night interrupted sleep,
Delivered a vision...
So vivid..
Ā  So deep..
Ethereal images swirled above his head
Depicting a relic..
Containing the dead..

Early next morning
Just before dawn
He grabbed pen and paper
And from memory...had drawn
A picture..
A scripture..
Of just how it was shown.

As he then studied his artwork
It rang so many bells
These thoughts...
And he remembered..
"I have one upon my shelves.!"

With excitement he then scuttles
Clambering over his wares
Hurriedly....
Making his way down the stairs

His eyes then scurry
From left to right
As he blows off the dust
From each trinket in sight

Then to his delight...!
He discovers the piece
Yet has no recollection
Of how it came to be his?

And with both hands
He grasps...
The odd artifact.
But just like...that!
It begins to collapse...

Then those very same swirls... begin to appear
Alas... 'The Relic' has now...
Unleashed....new found fear..

These forgotten souls
That were once withheld
Inside this dark and desolate shell
Imprisoned within an ancient cell
No longer...
Shall they dwell in it's hell...

Now free to roam
They haunt the man
Stricken with panic
In the palm of his hands
His last piece collected
Lies here..where he stands
The remnants remains
Of ......'The Souls of the Sands'..
