Happy Samhain/Halloween!

The veil grows thin at the time of the dead,

As we honor our ancestors, in whose footsteps we tread,

Life retreats into the bulbs and the roots,

The time has passed for the flowers and fruits,

As leaves fall thick and carpet the ground,

The Dark Mother awaits in silence profound,

Now is the time for the apple feasts,

Time stands still for human and beasts,

Seek the wisdom of days gone by,

To deal with the past and let it lie,

Face your shadow and accept your faults,

Look now to the future to seek your results.
