Shadows fade into the night
Eerie darkness – oh, what a sight
Gloom and gore are my plight
Heart is racing as I write
Dreadful horror I try to smite
Fear falls heavy on hindsight
Terror trembles, it will ignite
Alarm at the grieving despite
Comforting thoughts that excite
Delaying the scare that is affright
Leaning into sorrow to unite
Worry, panic and distress at midnight
When all the nightmares come to light
Inside the one who knows the fight
Between life and death by candlelight
When everyone sees the oversight
Of forgetting that Halloween’s might
Is to frighten hearts to take flight
Leaving behind the hope that does delight
With guarantees of solace, oh, so bright
