Eighth Place

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
