October is over
Just a few dark hours left
And ‘tis All Saints’ Day
This is Halloween
Celebrating the dark side
Of things left unsaid
From ebon branches
Owls hoot out their advice
To trick-or-treaters
Hissing and shrieking
Black cats go prowling about
Darkened back alleys
As darkness descends
Bats emerge from hideaways
Soiling the night sky
In cemeteries
Souls rise up from ancient graves
And wander about
It is the birthday
Of feared and unwanted things
Hidden in the mind
Imagination
Is the most important gift
To share on this night
