Nightfall
Fog settles in
Hides the land
Shrouding all
With its veil
Eeriness
In the distance
Lights
Through the dark
Each dimmer than
The one before
Shine
Shadows
Take control
Hovering
Ever so slightly
Spirits
Searching
Seeking
A new host
As I stand
Waiting
In the night

So many candles burning, no brighter than a single flame
Dimly lit distractions, another one, they’ve come to claim
Keep your eyes on the colors, red and yellow float away
Spirits, in the mortal plane, release hidden souls this day
Guard your loved ones closely, lest they be taken, too
When the time has come, alas, they’ll also come for you
Fear not they who visit, regard the plan they must keep
To gather those who’ve lost their way, gather in the sheep
Lead them to greener pastures, far away from hurt and pain
Then remind us, there will be a day, we’ll be together, again

Did it ever occur to you, why some spirits are left to dwell?
Ever hear a haunting tune, and get caught up in its spell?
That shadows are really apparitions, of those, long passed
Who remain in the mortal world, now lost, within the vast

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”. You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you. More info can be found in the link below.
In my hands I hold the key, a golden wand to set me free
Swirl, the winds about me, fly, watch as magic awakens, by
Sounds from my voice, subdued, I must set the perfect mood
Allow the spirits to commune, I can feel them, coming soon
I cannot rush this, I must wait, else, this magic seals my fate
Swirl, the winds about me, fly, watch as magic awakens, nigh
No longer in my hands, the key, my spirit flies, at last, I’m free

What dare unearth this ground, shrouded in mysteries, untold; is there a message, timeless, profound, unlocking secrets, as day unfolds? Disguised as stone, do you see, the face of another come through; or perhaps, eagle’s wings, taking flight, to be free, or pursue?
And what of the markings down below, a hand print stained with time; drawing us closer, trying to show; this is no ordinary place, nor paradigm. This ground on which you stand, holds those who have long since passed, their spirits remain here, quite planned, blending with the trees, and vacant grass.
These are the questions begging to be asked, by those who do not know; to venture here, is no easy task, still, one you mustn’t forgo. Take heed to the teachings that await, for one day you may return; as a spirit, yourself, from beyond the gate, best make sure your lessons are well learned.
