Taking Flight

Halloween night
Time to take flight!

Dressed all in black
Striped stockings, pointed hat

Leather button up shoes.

Grab cape and broom
We'll be meeting soon

Applying red lipstick
Frizz up your hair, QUICK!

We're ready for our Halloween cruise.

Under the willow tree
We gather, wild and free

What a sight we are
Sisters from near and far

To our cats we all bid adieux

Forming a circle, off we go!
What will happen, no one knows

Soaring high above the tree tops
Wishing we never had to stop!

Nothing can beat this glorious view!

THAT MAGICAL NIGHT

The sun goes down
And all over town
The creatures begin to emerge

Up the street they go
From door to door they tow
Their goody bags filled to the brim

Porch lights shine bright
Oh what a sight
What's that in front of the moon?

A witch it might be!
A real sight to see!
I can hear her cackle and scream!

A magical night
of fun and fright
The kiddies don't want to go home.

Sisters of Gloom

On Halloween night
They're causing a fright
Flying past the moon

Three Sisters set free
A real sight to see
Upon their enchanted brooms

The kiddies all hide
but secretly wish they could ride
through the sky with a zoom

The trio descents
with feverish intent
hitting the ground with a boom

The porch lights go out
Even the grown ups do shout
Locking themselves in their rooms

The black cats however
Are not afraid, never
They'll be greeting the gang of three soon

They don't wish to hide
Hopefully joining the ride
Sitting along side their masters of doom

Look up in the sky
On Halloween, don't be shy
And you may spot the Sisters of gloom

The Old Hag

As I walk through the forest
I peek through the trees
Standing in the clearing
I see an old Hag

Cackle, cackle
Stir the pot
See the potion bubbling hot

Secret spell I hear her chant
Mysterious words she does incant

As she dances round the flames intent
I realize for whom the spell is meant

Tis meant for those that upon her sneak
with this thought, my knees grow weak

Time to run, time to flee
before the spell takes hold of me

But I can not move
I can not run
Seems my time is almost done

As I sink upon the ground
feeling like my legs are bound

my body melts onto the grass
I breathe once more, it is my last

If you should come upon a Hag in the woods
dancing and chanting, it would not be good.

Turn around and go back home
lock your doors and hide alone.

Pull your shutters tight
be still with all your might.

The Old Banshee

I hear the cry of the old Banshee
In the night as black as coal

Oh Lady do not scream for me
Come for another's soul

Tis growing nearer this I fear
I cannot bear to sleep

For when the morning light shines clear
Ye shall hear the mourners weep

Heart of a Gypsy

Heart of gold
Young and old
Beauty from the soul

Spirit's free
A root-less tree
Tumbling down the knoll

Strength and grace
Dressed in lace
Many fortunes told

Thoughtful Face
A fond embrace
Love forever bold

Heart of a gypsy
