Halloween night

I feel a chill spin through the air,
and hear the autumn leaves crunch beneath my feet.
A cool breeze blows back my hair,
as the watchful trees begin to creak.
The world feels eerie, cold and still,
if only for a minute...
I come across an abandoned barn...
there's nobody in it.
I walk along this strange ghost town,
and see my reflection in the glass.
The streets are wide,
I go up and down,
knowing that memories are all in the past.
I sit down on a bench and look up at the moon, feeling absorbed in the ominous night.
I shiver and breathe what the silence means...
Halloween has taken flight!

    question it

    Mostly questions,
    That's what the music told me.
    In the street just before twilight
    You see the world through sunglasses,
    Through wine glasses,
    Through glass windows that keep you from the heat.
  • Umbrella

    A girl bought an umbrella yesterday — to protect herself from the rain.
    It was a nice thing to have it. This way she could see the rain falling all around the umbrella, but not have to get wet.
    She was protected.
  • Peace

    We can lie on our backs and gaze up at the sky,
    Let the seconds become hours,
    Allow the birds to pass by.
    Let the noises dissolve into murmurs and songs,
    Let the light on our faces keep us peaceful and calm.
