clear circular sphere
fore tells a full moon rising
all hollows eve nears
living await Los Muertos
family gone brought to life
~
candles burning bright
photos ‘n items cherished
placed upon their graves
nights joy where death has no role
Celebrating memories

I was able to walk in All Soul’s Parade last year for a dear departed friend. Holding onto his memories made the altars and stories set up around the city of Tucson, Arizona for people others had lost made the experience so much more special.
Thank you for sharing this!
