the veil thins tonight

ghoulish forms

rise from the swamp

at dusk

on halloween,

and they are not

alive nor dead–

but somewhere

in between.

they blindly grasp

at living things

to be

absorbed into,

and hopefully,

those living things

will not be

me or you.

  1. Delightfully spooky poem and pic Michael. Ya, I ask the Angels to take these mischievous folks into Heaven’s Light all the time whenever the Veil thins. Happy Hallowed Evening! 🎃

  2. Blew the photograph up to study it. It’s really creepy… My imagination is seeing all kind of things! Is it brush and roots? I even see a woman laying down with a bat hovering over her! I have a crazy imagination! Happy day!
