Almost Midnight

Yes the meds are kicking in LOL. I was all set to write my blog when I looked at the time and thought, oh it's almost midnight. Those 2 words stuck out to me and immediately, I found myself writing this. Like all my stories or poems, I just sat and wrote it down, no re-do or scratching out words for new ones, sat down and this came out of my head just as you see it here. So in keeping with that, be kind LOL 

Moon hangs brightly
Wild owl call out
Time For goblins to play
Leaves turn colors
and crunch under feet
This is what they say
"Almost Midnight, when witches rule, the time before the dawn,
almost midnight, to our homes let's go, or be used just as a pawn."

They went there way by strong moonlight, not seeing any witch
They noticed though the night sky starless, against the moon looked black as pitch.
Along the way they saw an owl, a firefly, tree stump and a brook,
They walked right past, wary of witches, gave all them barely a look
They got home safe, to those they loved, they vowed to stay inside, 
the rest of the night, until the sun shined bright, they left with haughty stride.

In the forest the witches giggled to themselves,
We are not crazy, or evil or mean to any
We do not hex you, or turn your thinking
It's against our laws, they may leave you blinking

We love the earth and honor her cycles
We praise our God & Goddess
We are one with the animals, the flowers & trees, also with the air inside us
We harm none, lest ye be harmed, this is what we follow
So those witches giggled once more, at the men from last evening they saw
walk right past an owl, a firefly, a tree stump and a brook,
They walked right by those witches, and gave them all barely a look!
