Poem: All Hallow’s Eve

On All Hallows’ Eve
Ghost and ghouls come at night
Dancing and shaking to cause fright
Amongst decaying fallen leaves

Poem: Pagan Rituals

Pagans knew rituals
to keep safe in the darkness
abandoned for masks

Poem: The Heart Careful

the heart careful
in its fragility
shakes and shudders
from the slightest sound
watches breathlessly

Poem: Fall Ritual

Hands on plow
Head turned down
Darkness comes

Shadows dancing in fields
Stretch long fingers reaching
For souls who linger long

Poem: Pagans of Spring

Between dusk and dark
When the stars battle
With the sun for dominance
Shadowy figures dance
Over green gray grass
Their bare toes worshiping
The earth’s soft bounty
In the arrival of spring
