Wisdom of witches
Musings of cats
Hanging out with
Guileless bats
Benevolent, similar companions
Alight from the stars tonight.
Sippings of cider
Fall leaves bestrewn
Sharing sweets
Under the moon
We ponder illuminating pumpkins
Carved slowly from outside in.
RIP the veil between
Worlds upon Hallowe'en.
Ghost friends
Love and will be seen.
All souls knock at the door
Give out your candy, but
Think back on old lore
Who will you let inside?
Mind your core.
Night covers the words
And the poison in shadowy smiles.
Discern the eyes
Whether they be loving
Or be hostile
To glimpse at imps
To peer at peers.
Toads wait at the porch
Wanting more treats
In croaking contempt.
Cast out the spell of them
As with a diadem
Ward away
Welcome in.
Whispering spirits
Questioning owls
Stepping out with
That which prowls
Good hauntings will come of inspiration
And fellowship magical.
RIP the veil between
Worlds upon Hallowe'en.
Ghost friends
Love and will be seen.
All souls knock at the door
Give out your candy, but
Think back on old lore
Who will you let inside?
Mind your core
On Hallowe'en.
