The Haunting: A Sonnet
Searching led me to where I’d never been,
A place unknown, and yet I somehow knew it.
Long years had passed; the waiting in between,
When finally the noise broke through the quiet.
The fateful day when at last the news arrived,
There was no choice - I knew that I must go,
To search you out, to learn what was contrived,
Questions which I harboured with furrowed brow.
Strange, what pushed me on I could not say,
Along the journey the echo of a whisper
From beginning through to this very day,
A place I saw in dreams; a mental twister.
All who knew, their silence left me wanting;
Hunger to know was greater than the haunting.
