Darkness falls
The midnight hour
Creatures scurrying
For treats, they scour

Human flesh
A ghoul’s delight
Plenty of pickings
Tis Halloween night

Unassuming, out and about
Trick or Treat
They hear you shout
This is their cue
A delight fills their eyes
They whisk you away
No one hears your cries

So watch your kiddies
And watch all around
You never know when
You’re next to be found

No escape from the evil
There’s no place to turn
Could it be the end?
Of this, you discern…

Unsettled, the skies weep
With darkened eyes, clouded
The sun, continues to sleep
Masked, hidden, shrouded

By haze and smoke that lingers
Though flames, nowhere, can be seen
The air, so thick, through my fingers
I am lost in an unending dream

Floating endlessly, eyes unaware
There are others who journey, too
Each of us spaced, obsidian glare
No chance for our sight to renew

Never Forgotten

With tired arms





They carried the dead





Covered in dust





No words need said





They worked in the piles





Finding comfort, instead





As Brothers in Arms





Side by side, head to head





We watched and we wept 





Tucked our children in bed 





While our nation was mourning





In a world filled with dread…





*

Remembering those who lost their lives on 9-11-2001, and those who tirelessly worked in the days ahead, who later lost theirs.  We will never forget.

Watch
As life descends
Its journey uplifted
Then gently 
Laid to rest
Miles away
From yesterday.

Friends…for those of you who may not know, we lost a very dear friend in our poetry/WordPress community.  Those of us who had the privilege of knowing Walt Page, will always remember him as a kind and passionate man.  Walt passed away in March of this year.  Please keep his wife and sons in your prayers as well as his furry buddies, of which he had many.




A man full of heart

From the land of Tennessee

Words flowed from his pen

Explaining life, to a tee


Love for his wife,

His pups and his home

Around his land, his pride

Each day he would roam


We’d laugh over things

Our talks, I’ll never forget

That I didn’t get to say goodbye

Will always be my regret


I called him Sir Walt

And to him, I, Lady D

A knight in shining armor

To me, he’ll always be


So, thanks for the fun we had

You’re missed, hope you know it

Heaven has a new Angel

He’s “The Tennessee Poet”


Rest In Peace, Dear Friend.

Walt Page – March 2022
