It's Halloween
Do things seem to get creepier
Around this time of year?
Suddenly like all surroundings
Seem to cater to your every fear.
Everything becomes alot spookier
Even shadows begin to take form.
The time of year unexplainable things
Mysteriously become the new norm.
Sounds, normally not thought about
Especially in the light of day.
Suddenly seem to be amplified
When the last ray of light goes away.
Look over there in the darkness.
Just beyond the lantern's light.
Where sanity somehow escapes us.
And things go bump in the night.
Darkness.... A breeding ground for evil?
Are you sure what's been heard or seen?
Are your eyes and ears playing tricks on you?
After all... It's only Halloween.
