The Haunting Of Car 17 - The Portal

Part 3 - Collaboration with Sharon

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

A portal now, for ghostly passage

nothing and no one stands against

For what can any mortal manage

could offer any recompense

The conductor calls a final boarding

another soul met its demise

The portal offers death, transporting

while human proffer mournful cries

Time after time, collecting tickets

one step onboard, met with regret

The song of frogs and forest crickets

death's melody, one can't forget

For in the air float the strain of satan

a trilling tune of testament

Torment and terror play the refrain

the devil in his element

Pay heed my friends, when that whistle blows

say your prayers and watch you step

When that train returns, no one yet knows

but the engineer's name is surely, death
