Twixt the Waxing and the Waning

TWIXT THE WAXING AND THE WANING

Twixt the waxing and the waning,
The moon quarters, halves,
Then once full tis time for
Spirits to dance upon the night.

Keep watch! Keep silent!
Fear not but do not speak,
Do not let them know you watch,
As they dance upon the night.

For ye will see what mortals,
Dare not admit exist,
The magic of the mystical,
As they dance upon the night.

As spirits speak though they are dead,
And cast spells upon the earth,
Beware the spells don’t land on you,
As they dance upon the night.

Incantations ye shall hear,
Words you will not understand,
Be careful ye don’t speak the words,
As they dance upon the night.

Tis the night for spirits to roam,
And witches fly across the moon,
Their cackling laugh will chill you,
As they dance upon the night.

You may want to lock your doors,
Hide behind the walls of stone,
But if ye dare, ye will watch in awe
As they dance upon the night.

So keep your children safe inside,
Your loved ones hidden from their sight,
And ye alone shall watch and learn,
And you’ll dance upon the night.
