A Mystery 



                Slipper on my pillow 
                there when I woke 
                of what is the symbol 
                of what it evokes 

                Who put it there whilst I slept 
                not in my room 
                was a footstep crept 
                what does it mean 
                the explanation unseen
                Is it supernatural 
                a message from beyond 
                So hard to be believe it was actual 

                A pillow is for a head 
                a head is for memories and thought 
                is one lost, dead or danger fraught 
                Slippers are for feet 
                Feet are for walking 
                running, skipping and such 
                Believe me mate 
                this is just all too much 

                Slipper on my pillow 
                it wasn't there last night 
                for a book I was reading 
                and on was the light 
                before my eyes grew heavy 
                and all light was spent 
                it wasn't there then 
                when to sleep I went 

                From the floor to the bed 
                itself didn't jump 
                strategically placed 
                It's giving me 
                goose bumps........... 

                (This actually happened and I can't explain it)
