Whispers in the Dark

I stilled my mind and drifted into another realm  
When I awoke, I was greeted by flowers and elm
The lady bird sang a wonderful tune    
On the water rang a lovely loon    
   
I strolled through the wooded glade  
Suddenly, not a sound was made    
The sun began to set, and my heart was starting to fret    
A sinking feeling told me I had been drawn into a devilish debt    
   
Darkness encompassed me    
Whispers hissed, as mist came to my knee  
Dreadful requests did they ask    
Each more horrid than a blood filled cask    
   
Now I speak with a permanent stutter    
So careful, what they asked I will never utter    
The wretched words I shan't ever mutter
