The veil is parting, growing thin
On the new Moon begun
Children anticipate fun
Few will recall
The darkness
As the moon in the sky grows full
New moon to New moon
The seasons tide does turn
Samhain, Summers End
When souls of those gone
Might come to visit again
Share a meal
In silence
In the dark
Lift a toast
To those you miss the most
Let grief run it’s course
Mourn those not yet ready
To let the feelings in
Each to their own time
Days, months or years
Let those of the wild hunt fly
Through the darkest of nights
Across the sky
Gathering in all the lost and weary ones
Who’ve not yet found their way
Back to the beginning
Back to the end
Weep or cry
Leap or fly
Death is not the end of life
Simply it’s transformation
Light your candles
In pumpkins this night
Keep at bay the devils
The fears that haunt the night
Light another candle
In a place held dear
To light the way
Across the years
Where memories live
Of those we’ve held dear
Now sleep my friends
Another day will dawn
While in this world
Life goes ever, ever on
