On Such
a Night
by Patricia Wellingham-Jones
On
this night frost shivers beneath the stars,
the
planet tilts a small breath closer to warmth.
The
seam between worlds eases apart for a few hours
and
souls from other places, other times, slip through.
People
spanning the ages gather at their sacred sites.
Magic
rides the heavens on such a night.
