In Gay Abandon

Ghosts glide on the highway to heaven in gay abandon
On Halloween’s starless night, in a limbo state they dance
From Purgatory they haunt with a vengeance in their eternity

In angst night terrors they cast to all for their eternity
Mortals beware the punishment with all hope abandoned
Enchanting their wispy shapes glow in oblivion’s dance           

We listen to the song of lament, with spirits in mind we dance
Requiem from the dead chanting in the abyss for all eternity
Dia De Los Muertos, we celebrate the dead, with no abandon

In eternal abandon, a haunting melody, a soulful dance

Exceptional composition, Anaya. Seamlessly done, and easy on both my eyes and my ears, which reminds me that I'll soon be needing them for their usual checkups. I found Tritinas a bit rough around the edges as I've not written one for some time, I'll give it a try--that's if the window of opportunity still avails--gotta run, my friend. GL and Aloha, William
