Shadowy Scavengers - Contest

Shadowy Scavengers The darkest hour of the hallowed night Wake up the blood dried shadows with Unfulfilled desires rotting in purgatory Wriggle out of their graves to earth flying To their unwanted descendants' homes To fill them with fearful reminders that Their ancestors are connected through blood ties Beware of the denizens of the night! Crosses and candles at the door Scare these lifeless invisible parchments away Thresholds laden with goodies satiate these One night scavengers howling with the wind Gifting and treating the tiny devilish vampires Purge them of their undoings and guilt ridden lives All the empty hungry souls are tricked To the golden ladder of salvation to heaven EIGHTH Balveen Cheema October 18, 2015 Contest: Halloween- Prompt-2 Sponsor: Bev Smith

Wonderful description of the Samhain festival when the line between realms becomes week and dead souls can walk the earth.

this used the atmosphere of darkness that the early celebrators of Halloween must have felt. They were living even before the dark ages not understanding things about life and nature and for that reason Halloween was born. I enjoyed this.
