Evermore - Tracy R.Cardinet©2015 CAL USA
Silken trails of light
Shine on forest floor
Moon’s glow is not bright
On path to Evermore
.
Harvest-plenty, there
Celebration grand
Flying through the air
Or walking hand-in-hand
.
All Hallows is nigh
When all will receive
Bright blessings, on high
On All Hallows Eve
.
Wee ones in masks
Exclaiming with glee
As grown-ups tend tasks
Beneath ancient tree
.
The fire is now lit
The feast may begin
Let everyone sit
Together again
.
With reverence and awe
Their heads, they do bow
They give thanks for all
The earth has endowed
.
Glasses, now tinkling
Voices, now merry
Bakers, now sprinkling
Sugar on berries
.
All is so festive
Beneath that old tree
Afterwards, restive
The kids want to flee
.
They run to each bower
They shout, “Trick or treat!”
Every good fairy
Gives sweet treats to eat
.
When the sun rises
When everyone’s spent
Through with surprises
All happy they went
.
They take to the path
Retracing their route
To home and to nap
Things to dream about
.
Until the next harvest
Until the next feast
Fairies, all star-kissed
To say the least
.
