There's a certain magic that comes,
arriving upon the chill of the wind,
bringing a sense of enlightenment,
watch the winds blow it all in,

Down by the lonely paths in dark woods,
over the creepy waters of forest swamps,
the mist brings deep mysteries,
dark, deep, deep mysteries,

Listen closely to the roaring howls,
lost souls crying, moaning, chained,
bound to the conformities of earth,
they roam inside October winds,

There within the wind, stories,
stories of long, long ago,
pages, chapters, books,
lives of souls needing released.

When the October winds blow about,
casting erie chills, howls,
walk that long road home alone,
hear their whisperings in your ear,

Ghost will appear, before your eyes,
black figures, chasing you, haunting you,
hiding in the trees, watching your every move,
shadows that follow you home,

There is something about the October winds,
if you stop long enough to listen,
you can hear them blowing about,
awaiting for their return to home.

Telling their stories wherever they roam...

"Shadows that follow you home."
You paint a very scary picture here. Those creepy October winds crawling down your spine giving you the shivers. It's almost too scary for me.
You have a real talent. I'm jealous.
