Halloween Party 2012...Halloween Treats and Ghostly Tales

Can you hear the giggles?

Let us follow the merry laughter

Where are we going?

Oh goodness me

Where are my manners

Welcome to our Halloween Soiree

Hosted by our Dear friend Miss Vanessa

over at A Fanciful Twist

Tonight dear friends

As the large moon rises high into the night sky

and the chill of the crisp autumn breeze starts to kiss 

the tips of our noses,

I thought we would adventure deep into the forests of Wonderland

We shall frolic amongst the creatures of the night

Come now....Hurry along

The laughter leads the way

You dont want to fall behind 

The woods are very dark and very full of 

all sorts of mischievious characters 

this Halloween evening.

There it is

Just beyond that group of trees.

The fireflies will light our way

The ghost and goblins

have already arrived

 

such Spooky Ghosties

And Gouly Goblins

Have some treats and settle in amongst the pumpkins

 

I think I will take a seat right here

 

And I think I would love some candy corn before I begin my tale

*****************

Now it is time for a Ghost story.....

This is the tale of Michael and Nicholas.

They were twin brothers around eight years old when they stumbled 

down the rabbit hole and found there way to 

Wonderland

Michael and Nicholas were very spirited young souls

and were known to get themselves swept away in spectacular adventures

Once arriving in Wonderland

the two youngsters decided to head for the woods of the 

Jabberwocky

They had plans to hide up high in the trees

and jump onto his back when he passed under them.

The two boys never saw the Jabberwocky that day

but they did have the most amazing time

jumping through the treetops

Tossing acorns at some of the fantastical fairies that flew by

all in good sport of course..

Fairies can be pretty mischievious themselves

so they joined in tossing acorns back

Yes Michael and Nicholas were like 

two peas in a pod

peanut butter and jelly

tea and sugar

They never were apart

Thick as thieves those two were

They had a bond no one could break

and there in would lie the tragedy

While high up in one especially grand Oak berry tree

Nicholas saw a rare bright red Lokiberry flower

You could lick the petals and become invisible for hours

It was too much of a temptation to resist

Nicholas and Michael had almost made it to the flower 

when the branch below Michaels foot gave way 

CRACK

Michael who was holding up Nicholas lost his footing and fell

causing Nicholas to fall as well

Michael caught a branch with one hand

and Nicholas with the other

 

Michael knew he could not hold on to both

and so did his brother, Nicholas

"Let me go Michael

If not we both are going to fall"

 

Michael knew he could not live without Nicholas

He looked into his brother's eyes as the branch started to crack

"Where you go brother, I go too. Remember"

"Always together. Never Apart"

Michael released his grip before the branch even had the chance to break

Never letting go the brothers fell to the ground

The fairies and Wonderland creatures

found the two brothers lying side by side

still holding hands

And as they stood looking on 

They all witnessed the single red Lokiberry flower

float from the tree down until it landed

right in the boys clutched hands

It's gift to the two adventurous souls that dared to reach the top.

Now dont cry or be sad

for remember when I told you 

that nothing could seperate the brothers

Well death could not tear them apart either

For as you see

"Death would be their greatest adventure"

Michael and Nicholas still jump from tree to tree 

and run amongst the fairies today

You can sometimes hear their haunted laughter

and the rustling of the branches

Still together and still on Adventures

 

Did you hear that?

I thought I heard the leaves shaking

in that branch above your head

***********************

Happy Halloween Dearest Friends

Well, I couldn't help it, tears were running down my face by the time I reached the part where the Lokiberry floated down on their hands. But to be young and have adventures together forever would not be a bad thing either, I think.

I love your blog, thank you for leaving me a comment on my party post and guiding me to here. Happy Halloween!

Beyond the veil - it's thin this time of the year. The story touched my emotions. How lovely, but sad and evocative on many levels.

Happy Halloween to you.
