All Hallows Eve

Samhain Fires in the night Robes dancing beneath moonlight Flowers burning from Pixies breath Running faster away from death Leave a plate for those deceased To munch upon as a treat Returning soon from their end Dont let them steal your last breath Good and bad spirits trail in the night Send your offerings to those up high Laughter and cider warming your chest And in the woods so does your consorts breath Protection and a new years feast Let the feilds grow and the dead sleep in peace

A superb homage to the hungers of the Dead - Halloween is my favorite holiday because it can force us to confront the reality of mortality while also encouraging us to enjoy life in the flesh while we have it - you are so sensuous Jay, a talent for stimulating the body - you are awesome - a wonderful witch - please keep me in your ceremonies - J.A.B. %
