All Hallows Eve

A slightly creepy poem for Halloween......

All Hallows Eve
 
Now cold wind blowing over stones
The tribe depart, awash with tears
Here were placed the shells and bones
Shadows gather, bringing fears
 
Now death walks along a lonely road
And shadows gather, falls the night
And sorrow born is heavy load
 A dusk of idols, ending light
 
All Hallows Eve, the open door
A gap in the curtain, glimpse to see
Shades of the past, and little more
They walk this night, by fate's decree
 
The summoning can bring back dead
But cat that walks alone has fled
