Hallow Eve

-->

The wings of time

Fly by

In spite of grief

And a pocketful

Of worries

Better left unopened

The seasons flutter

Like butterfly wings

And crisp autumn leaves

Announce the arrival

Of fall, and holidays

Fragile as ice

Temperatures fluctuate

A roller coaster ride

Once thrilling

As children bundled

And decorated

Held out hands for candy

And you,

My blue-eyed son

A fireman, a pumpkin

A rock star, a monster

Pranced and pranked

My hearts delight

Then disappeared

Beyond my horizon

A ghost, a star, an angel?

I lick chocolate from lips

Turned down,

like an umbrella.
