Samhain 🕯👻

The reflection was strange

neither human or ghost but something in-between.

The candle flickered

though the air was still

and the night so heavy with darkness it seemed all mortal things had been sucked into the otherworld.

She reached out her hand to the windowpane

to try feel something more substantial than her dreams

yet the figure never moved,

never changed

and it's strange eyes stared out into the very depths of her soul.

Somewhere in her tangled thoughts she knew she should be afraid

but there was no fear

only a strange familiarity,

a deep longing

and a lilting song that played over and over..
