Let's set a date to pause our lives,
And travel to a moment of time when we were all together,
Laughing with ale in our glasses and mischief on our lips,
Dancing in cobweb stockings and petticoat miniskirts,
Whispering spells of love or lust as we moved our hips
And swayed to the enchanting music of All Hallows Eve.
Dark. Strobe lights--Flash. Dance, sweat, laugh.
Talk, joke, float on to the deck where autumn blows her chilly breath
And rattles dead and dying leaves--a sweet reminder or our mortality
That sparkes a conversation among us, the few left standing,
Sharing thoughts as deep as the roots of these trees that surround us,
But as light as the clouds that pass over the face of the moon.
Huddled together, we stir each other's embers, keeping the fire alive until dawn.
