Amber eyes and scary tale A book held tightly in hand A talon�s grip will prevail As hours pass in the sand And from the cauldron, greenish mist billows For one moment, an ancient heart falters Adding the nose of two armadillos The incantation song and life alters Stirring mix with wicked hope The amber eyes burn to red A stagger turns to a lope As the heartbeat starts to thread Within the sickly mist, a form stands firm Inhaling deeply the remnants of life Though the lesser beings begin to squirm Her determination cuts like a knife Much more than what was before One lone soul left to bestow A night riddled with folklore Feeds the empowering blow An existence filled with normal living Can make one forget all that�s really there A spell that requires the art of giving Songs of lost trick-or-treaters in the air

Didn't everyone know a "mean old lady witch" in their neighborhood during their childhood? This write feeds that lurking phantom in our psyches! The language is superb in this fine and disquieting write!

May I never find that witch
Nor have that witch find me.
Halloween is now long past
But I still have the urge to flee

This is too frightful and scarey, I can see this one in a haunted house ride like in the rides at Disneyland or just a haunted house like at the amusement parks. This is Terrific!
Thank You.
The Best of Life's offerings to you and your family always,
