Tonight, The Veil Thins

Tonight, the crescent moon wanes
Tonight, the crescent moon wanes
The veil between the worlds thins
The veil between the worlds thins
The Crescent moon thins, tonight
Between the veil the worlds wanes

The departed make late night calls
The departed make late night calls
Sudden chill fills the autumn air
Sudden chill fills the autumn air
Late night calls fills the autumn air
The departed make sudden chill

Blackbirds caw from barren trees
Blackbirds caw from barren trees
A horned owl watches from the pines
A horned owl watches from the pines
From the barren trees, from the pines
A horned owl watches, blackbirds caw

Tonight, the departed make calls
Late the crescent moon wanes
The worlds thins, sudden night chill
From the pines, blackbirds caw
From barren trees, a horned owl watches
The autumn air fills the veil between

  2. Love your Halloween-themed paradelle Truedessa. The veil is thin tonight with the departed ones making late night calls. Scary and spooky with sounds from blackbirds cawing with a watchful horned owl. Happy Halloween!

  11. Awesome, Truedessa!
    The last stanza is just perfect.
    I love these lines in particular:
    "blackbirds caw
    From barren trees, a horned owl watches
    The autumn air fills the veil between"
