Stalking Us
by louis gander You follow me and haunt me in terrorizing ways. Your silence keeps me guessing here in my most frightened gaze. Sometimes you stalk me from my left - and sometimes from my right. Sometimes you're right in front of me - or just beyond my sight. Sometimes taller, you appear, intimidatingly - and every day I see you here, I simply want to flee. To add some distance, I sometimes accelerate my pace. Yet matters not, my quickened step, I can't increase the space. You march 'lock-step' along with me and blatantly impede - my privacy and liberties exacting my same speed. I get enraged and shake my fists - but you make your fists too. Once and for all, I'd be so glad to rid myself of you. You hang around me mimicking! I plead with you - just GO!! I find myself at my wit's end escaping my own shadow. Oh yes, just like our shadows, temptation follows us - stalking us where e'er we go. That's why we need Jesus. 2013 louis gander ALL RIGHTS RESERVED http://www.ganderpoems.org/ ------- Copyright 2021 by louis gander. Poetry for sermons, story poems and more...
