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.
