Valley of Shadows



Riddle Riddle Ree...What do I see?


My family and I were on a road trip.  The road we were traveling was very dark.  At times, I could barely see a few feet in front of us.  There was a fog that continue crept in and out of the road.  As I sat there the below words come into my mind recalling a period in my life were depression had began to over take me.  Luckily, my depression were caused by  external forces and once recognized I was able to heal.  Yes, there are still times these shadows come calling again.  But with the help of my loving husband and children, we can openly talk and ensure these shadows stay at bay.

Depression, mental illness, memory loss, aging can all lend to the Valley of the Shadows.  If it is yourself or a love one know that many people do emerge from the Valley of the Shadows. 


In the Valley of Shadows, lingers stories never told.

Memories that have fallen on the dark and eerie road.

There across the path the sound of footsteps echo from many years ago.

Through the trees lost spirits wander to and fro.

In the Valley of Shadows, listen closely and you will hear.

The laughter and the screams of those you fear.

You will hear in the wind the spirits whispering your name.

Be careful not to get caught in their dark and malcious game.

In the Valley of Shadows, you will surely loose your mind.

You start to wonder where you are and what will you find.

There the fog will cover you and trap your thoughts inside.

The spirits will search for you with no where to hide.

In the Valley of Shadows, lingers stories never told.
