Halloween Poem
Dusk. Leaves rustling lightly
Deserted streets
He runs
Terror stricken
Fear pounds in his heart
Pulse races
Through the woods
Dark and cold
His face shows worry
As it gets nearer
Unseen by his eyes
But felt by his soul
Halloween night
Cold
A chill that cuts to his bones
And still he runs
Edge of the woods
He stops, panting
Cold sweat breaks out
And he feels it again
Closer
Like a ghost it comes
A thief in the night
Silently at first
Then bursting forth
Chasing him
He sobs lightly to himself
Fear grips him once again
He knows it is near to him
Feels it coming closer
Catching his breath he runs
Faster then he ever remember he has
Bursting from the woods
Onto a lonely road
So lonely
It gains ground on him
He knows now it sees him
No where to hide
But his eyes search anyway
Jack O’ Lanterns on porches
And no one around
Turning a corner
He sees them
Children
Going door to door
Laughing
He slows
Feeling safer for some reason
Memories of a happier time
Last year
His daughter
On Halloween
He slows to a walk
New tears now
For a daughter lost
Cancer
Looking like hell
Feeling it following him
He walks among the people
The children
Smiling
Remembering
Crying
They must think I am nuts
Unshaven
Tattered clothes
Sweating
Crying
A costume of his own
Lost in time
And memories
He walks alone
Into the night
He stops finally
In front of a cemetery
Walks into it
Wind blows lightly
And on the Autumn air
He feels it coming again
He does not run
His feet carry him onward
Past every type of headstone
Until he finds it
He stands there
Smiling
Looking down
And pulls himself together
A child’s gravestone
Little Angel
Arms holding a child
Grave holding his little girl
He hears it at the gates
Coming for him
A look of determination
No longer fear
Onto his knees he falls
Taking the angel in his arms
He whispers to her
Please remember me
Somewhere out there
In a world not so far away
A silent whisper drifts
A man she once knew
Someone called Daddy
She lets go the hand
Of her Angel
And drifts away
Please remember me
It comes back to her
A life somewhere else
Someone’s pain
On the day she left
Please remember me
Like a beacon to her soul it comes
And she goes
She remembers
She sees him as he was that day
As she left and floated off
His pain floats to her
She looks back
And a host of angels follow her
Singing
Cold and sick
He hugs her stone
As it stands behind him
Glaring
His mortality
A cough
More blood
So sick since she left
So alone
His hand reaches out
To her mother’s stone
Drunk driver
Three years ago
But the pain remains
Scared
Fear of the unknown
So dark out
And alone
He holds onto this world
He looks up to the heavens
So many stars this night
Millions of them
Glowing bright
He sniffles
Wipes away tears
Darkness recedes
Stars glow brighter
Like clouds breaking
Light bathes him
Warm
Inviting
Please remember me
His head lays upon the stone then
Cold
Eyes staring
A hand reaches out to him
Warmth fills him
Like he has never before felt
He looks up
His little girl smiles down
Behind her floats a host of Angels
His wife holds her other hand
Looking down at him
My baby he cries
I remember you she whispers
Always and forever
A smile crosses her face
He stands
And looks down upon himself
In a hospital bed
Come on daddy
Come home
He let’s go
Three souls travel
Through a chorus
And protected by an army
Of Angels
The doctor shakes his head
He’s gone
He writes down the time
And ponders the man’s smile
A little piece of paper
Clutched in his hand
Just three words
Please remember me
