Samhain Night

At last I see you
You see me
Though end of us came to be
Separated by two paths
We follow
As the bewitching hollow of the deep woods rustle
- Autumn leaves crackling, tumbling
Farther and farther (apart)
Samhain Night, and only a veil of souls fall between

Tree limbs cascade hands
Outstretched cling
Their bony, mangled arms swing
Tangled branches dance, descend
For to cloak
As chimney smoke floats across the scarecrow and haystacks
Jackal eyes gaze and flicker
Watching, waiting, debating
When, what way, how to haunt you
Burning through with memory

At last I see you
You see me
Though end of us came to be
Samhain Night, and only a veil of souls fall between

Jackal eyes gaze and flicker
Eerie candle wicks whisper
Once there was a brighter side
Love is pain,... a pitch heart bide
Samhain Night, and so I bring thee dwell of darkly dreams
Samhain Night, and only a veil of souls fall between
