All Hallows' Dreams

All Hallows’ Eve
And she haunts his mind
Whispering Do you remember me?
Through his dreams
Reaching for him from someplace 
He has never seen

She floats among the curtains
That billow at his window
And her face is etched upon the wall
By moonlight,
He can see her eyes aglow
When lightning strikes

She lies with him
In the hours beyond midnight
Her hand against his heart 
Counting beats,
The scent of her alive
In the darkness

She has followed him
Through eons, ethereal,
Her Love, a binding force
That will not shake her,
And with every new beginning
She finds him
And watches over him

All Hallows’ Eve,
And she sings him soft lullabies 
To the tune of long ago
And though his eyes may not see her
His heart remembers
And his soul 
Once again becomes whole
