ALL HALLOWS EVE
Shadows loomed
“””””””
There was no moon;
The sky was black.
Not even one star
Was winking back.
“”””
It was late October:
All Hallow’s Eve.
The calm of night
Begged to deceive.
“”””
Along the ground
A mist now crept.
It was so quiet as if
The world now slept.
“”””
But through the fog
A shadow loomed.
I heard leaves rustle.
Was I now doomed?
“””””
I held my breath
With tearful dread,
Wondering perhaps
I’d soon be dead.
“””””
My body twisted;
I almost screamed!
I wasn’t dead.
Thank God, I only dreamed.
