All souls rise
And wander
Reaching out
To those not yet
Summoned.
A timely reminder
That earth-light
Draws feral fingers
Across the throat's
Of those who breathe.
Unreal sureal potent
Time of inward looking
May magic thoughts cascade
Within,
A surrepticious treasure
Of gilded words.
Halloween,
Stars straddle the heavens
Atom knots collide
Streaming through the darkness,
Mere mortal
Look up to heaven.
The souls around dance
Coordinated in one movement
They do not feel cold
Nor of darkness petrified but are
Reminders of our earthly quest.
Look into the void
Connect the living thought
With the external dead ones
Sign posting our way.
Earth, she moves
Into the depths,
And is then lifted on
Wings,towards the light.
Each cycle
Is restored
Each year
Laws
Are re-established
The links
Are not broken
We continue, like the
Ancient standing stones
That point the way.
