31 Days of Halloween

1st day of my daily October writing challenge

I've challenged myself to write something every day for the month of October leading up to Halloween. This is my first day and I will start my daily writing with this little poem I wrote:

The dying embers of a crackling bonfire
mix with wind-blown leaves
the smoky air carries
the long-held wishes, hopes and dreams
that were waiting to come out
from the dark abyss;
they are finally free.
