All Hallows' Eve
When the trees drop gold and fire
And the spirits roam the world
Kids go out and do not tire
'Till all candy is unfurled.
Grown-ups play but do not see
The magic world like you and me.
Long ago they knew it too.
I know, I know - It sounds untrue!
Among the spirits, on their hind legs,
Walk two kittens and their pets:
One black, one white
Named Dark and Bright.
Each wears a hood
Of the opposite colour.
Both hold a broomstick -
One no longer than the other.
Unimportant at first glance,
The cats possess great power:
They meow, sing and dance,
And turn seconds into hours.
They stick to the sick,
Dying and weary
To prolong their night
And make it less dreary.
