We begin from flesh
Return to the earth as bone
Awaiting entrance
Hoping, as we, mere mortals
End, with the sheer grace of God
Join Sue, every Thursday, as she delights us with a new photo (or two)!

No one asks, where the howls come from
The screams, the forsaken, echo, and thrum
A mysterious glow, envelops the house
No one dares near it, not even a mouse
For evil lies heavy where no man has been
The howling of spirits, releasing their sin
Cast away these beasts, ungodly, at best
Immortal creatures, no longer blessed
Demons, each Lucifer, an evil disgrace
Still fight for their right, on this Earthly space

Ah
Autumn
Colors change
Matching my mood
I become her slave
Red, orange, and yellow
Green fades into the distance
Easily, my soul is now hers
She bleeds me until she is replete
Ever mysteriously, I comply

Behold the power, I keep in my hands
Many battles won, my magic, grand!
Villagers come, they seek, no doubt
Their wishes granted, but not without
A promise, to me, they must vow to make
Lest they feel the pain, make no mistake
Into toads, they will change, of this I exhort
I’ll add them to my own human wizard warts
The ones I use freely, to cast dastardly spells
I’ll grant no more wishes, they shall be quelled
Take heed, before journeying, through my land
You’ll feel cruelty, not pity, under my command

Come take a ride on my broomstick
Meet my precious cat, Mr. Quiver
We’ll turn your head, round and round
Upside down, make your whole body shiver
Throw in some jack-o-lanterns
Light the candles, watch them flame
The goblins in the graveyard
They’re writing numbers, taking names
I will tell my tale this Halloween
About the time I caught your eye
And how you fell for my greatest plan
I’m so sorry that you had to die
Your time has come to a dreadful end
On the gravestone, etched in black
Your name and, yes, the date you left
Safe to say, there’s no turning back
