All Hallows Een

Be sure you’re in before midnight On the Eve of Halloween Or you could get more than a fright From the awful things you’ve seen. The Trick or Treating finished, The children safe in bed Or huddled around the fire Telling stories in their stead, Maybe nervously shivering Feeling strangely cold As the evening progresses And more macabre tales told.h And then, the parties finished, The doors locked tight The clock moves quietly on And its All Hallows’ night. Did they catch a movement From the corner of an eye Possibly maybe sense Lost souls wandering by. A procession wandering Down every silent street To the Centre of the village Where those lost souls meet. Do they celebrate the gathering Do they seize the chance To mix and mingle and entwine In a ghoulish form of dance. A convention of undead None were able to save On this their special night New risen from the grave Just for these dark hours Freely let to roam Until with the night’s end The grave calls them home. As the dawn approached And the clocks moved on They silently dispersed Until every one was gone, With the coming of sunrise Are all the street cleared, Lost souls back to to Hades For yet another long year.. The children come awake Remembering Trick or Treat And for another year the living Reclaim every single street. Come full morning light There’s no sign to be seen Of the strange events of Another passed Hallows E’en. So be home before midnight To ensure you arrive whole The cost of being late Could be your very soul.
