Manifest
Dusty stairs leading to the attic
Cobwebs and spider legs
Creaky wood deafens the ears
Halloween night
Sheer white sheets with eye cutouts
Scary ghouls,
Monstrous to the core
With blood dripping onto the viewer's skin
Ghosts, they say
But another kind say angels
Ones who dress in white of purity
Not horror or evil
Gold rings above the ears
That lead the way into the light
And appear when manifested
From the light during birth
They follow you on your journey until the light to the afterlife
Protecting, not scaring
Not in the form of poltergeists
But in the people that we love the most
