All Hallows Eve

 

 

Across the Great Divide,

 

which is only, merely

 

a step from here to there,

 

we peer to see those who

 

have passed through.

 

 

 

Dear Ones that linger

 

close enough to whisper,

 

to give messages to those

 

who listen for them now,

 

no matter how.

 

 

 

The fire crackles, sparkles,

 

apples roast and chestnuts.

 

Patiently we hearken

 

and send our love to greet

 

their silent feet.
