Spooky Greetings from Women’s Environmental Institute

By Shelia Bland, Women’s Environmental Institute

Bugs, bees, bites, and bears

And oh, the blackest of nights

No chatter, or laughter or arguments outside

but silences, hoots, creaks, and scares.

If the moon is out the darkness abates,

but the full moon sky casts an eerie glow

It bears no semblance to streetlights!

Things glow in the dark,

And move across the black void

Then suddenly float away.

Crickets, frogs, wolves, and winds

Some sounds never heard before

And when there is no sound at all,

the silence threatens to swallow you whole.

Lost inside an emptiness

you cannot see

but also, cannot escape.

So profound is this silence

It dissolves all random thoughts

That filled your between-the-ears space.

You give in to perpetual wonder…
