Writers Island - Haunted


Hallow's eve embraces
All Souls who sleep
Under earth and graces.
Nature enriches and heals
Those who reach and rise to
Everlasting life on the
Day of the Feast of All Saints.

Nice take on the prompt - a lovely acrostic poem full of gentleness, gratitude and wonder of Todos Santos.
