Autumn Feelings Flow
Autumn feelings flow
in much the fashion
as lost leaves that blow
All Hallows' finds our minds
in false identities
that take us to escape
our daily grind
and look into the fantasies
behind the hidden selves we
barely have the time to know
Delighting in our children's
rituals for misrule,
in the guise of madness
we find our neighbour's kindness
and exorcise our fears of strangers,
masquerading as a fairy or a witch
or ghost in pain
We anticipate with joy
the chance to be a child again
