The Spirit of Halloween

Standard
The Spirit of Halloween

She wakens to the sound of owls

And stretches out her limbs

It’s been another year and now

Again it all begins

Clothed in leaves and pumpkin vines

She creeps out in the night

Her eyes ablaze, she walks along

And casts an eerie light

The spirits stir and follow her

This midnight path they walk

To visit with the living ones

Who see, and laugh, and talk

Green and orange, black and gold

The colours of Samhain,

A smell of bonfires in the air

Its Halloween again

Pumpkin spice and all things nice

Are waiting at the feast

The living ones now celebrate

With those who are deceased

She watches over all of them

She’s there but goes unseen

Uniting all for one more time

The Spirit of Halloween.
