Where Souls Gather

The call of the wolf haunts the night
   when the full moon rises
between the realms of nightmares and dreams
   where souls are gathered
in dark fields of stone and fireflies
where fairies dart around
   and shadowed goblins hide
this place of the dead
   where ghosts abound
and whispers of the forgotten
are heard on the full moon
for they couldn't pay Charon
   and now wander 
on the banks of the river Styx
   waiting in hell
until they pay the ferryman
   with time or coin
only then may they take Charon's ferryboat
    and cross the river
into the never realm of eternity
