Tap, Tap, Tap.......... <br />Outside the icey wind shudders <br />Inside I shiver at the sound <br />Of spectral fingers on the windowpane; <br /> <br />Tap, Tap, Tap.......... <br />Dead and broken wooden fingers <br />Like the vessles of my heart <br />Lifeless, fleshless, cold and stiff; <br /> <br />Tap, Tap, Tap.......... <br />Soon the snow will seal their fate <br />Days and nights of piercing shards <br />Drive the pain like frozen needles; <br /> <br />Tap, Tap, Tap.......... <br />How long before the sun will shine? <br />Thaw frozen fingers 'round my heart <br />Let the blood begin to flow again; <br /> <br />Tap, Tap, Tap..........<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spectral-fingers/
