13 Days of Samhain # 1 & # 2 – They Gather Souls
list of prompts day by day
For Sammi’s challenge
13 Days of Samhain (volume vi) – A Horror / Halloween Writing Prompt Challenge
***
This is a new challenge I just saw listed, from Sammi. The first prompt is to write anything about ‘dust to dust – ashes to ashes.
***
As they gather, they shriek
Hot west winds roar over the Rockies
Picking up pieces and souls
A norther comes blowing in
bowing branches and bringing bodies
Easterly tempests snatch entities ethereal
And the southern breeze wafts sinuously silent
They gather
They gather
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Grave robbers pick the pieces of our souls

And for Day # 2 – Dead and Buried

LOST SOUL
~
I could bury your lost soul in fog,
The mists of time mysterious…
Seeping through my brain’s lament,
You make me most delirious.
I will not bury you now,
To let you rot away…
You are the beating of my heart,
And there you’ll always stay.
As I release you out of my mind,
I see you in my dream…
A ghost upon my psyche…
So present, yet still unseen.
I cried when you were finished, then…
But never were you diminished…
A breath of life I gave to you,
And now you are replenished.
I write your story on my soul,
To bring you back to life…
A supernatural being, now
free of pain and strife.
Your cryptic ghostly wanderings,
Your still alive remains…
I write your story on my soul,
And sing your sad refrains.
