Ghost Riders

Influenced by the song 'Ghost Riders' featured in 'Blues Brothers 2000'. The poem was written 7th January 2002.

Ghost Riders:

They ride through the air
Lurking in the dark shadows.
Every time they pass by,
They're on a mission -
To find a key to their destiny,
The valley of souls,
Where wandering spirits lie
Trying to find a way out.
The riders' mission -
To release these lost souls
And help them find their ground.

The riders always dress in black,
Their hoods partially hide
Their faces with Death's Mask.
Behind them rides a lady.
No one knows who she is
Or where she comes from.
One thing's for sure -
Her face is a radient as the sun,
With streams of curly long hair
As blonde as a lion's mane.
Is she a prisoner?
Or a personal helper?

The way she acts is strange.
It seems like she has been there before.
She smiles knowingly at you
As if to say 'Don't worry, you're safe.'
Tempting men everywhere,
The riders somehow know her plan -
Whatever it may be.
Do we know where they're going?
All we know is that the journey
Seems eternal. The key must be found.
