Dinner's On!!

Okay, this blog is becomign TOO Halloween!

The Rhythm of the Winter

It’s cold in my heart and cold in my world

And time appears frozen in rain.

The sun hasn’t shone for a decade or two

And it may never shine again

Rain drums on the roof and taps on the panes,

While the wind chime chatters and whirls

The inlet is frosted with white caped waves

The wind kicks it up in swift swirls

Winter is here and the dark days have come

Its time to just go back to bed

Sleep for a week or for maybe a month,

The covers up over my head

The rain starts to croon a favorite tune

A tune I’ve known many a year

The wind chime will join the melody soon

The harmony ringing out clear

The cold in my heart will begin to thaw

The music will draw out a smile

Laughter will smooth over every flaw

And I’ll hum along for a while

So let the rain dance, let the wild wind blow

Let long winter days settle in

Some things I can’t change, but one thing I know

The winter’s outside, not within!!

The Rains Begin

The rain spilling down her soft cheek
Marked her wrinkles with rivulets
Of sorrow.

Immeasurable agony
Mingling with the rain on her face
As she wept.

Endless and enduring sorrow;
A love, lost even to her dreams,
Still burning.

Will the pain ever cease to tear
At her heart and her weary mind
This side of death?

Will the death of her fading mind
Be enough to silence the pain?
Will it linger?

How cruel is life, how unfair,
If all she remembers of him
Is loneliness?

I listen to the weeping night.
She sleeps and dreams he’s by her side.
And I weep, too.

Halloween Hauntings

Walking in the darkness
A whisper in your ear
Don’t look back, don’t turn around
They might be getting near

Eerie voices in the night
And if you look you’re theirs
Just keep walking, move along
The darkness never cares

Hurry on, just hurry
They’re breathing down your back
Don’t you feel their burning eyes
Just run, they’re on your track

Will you reach the doorway
Before they get to you
For if they take you with them
Your Halloweens are through
