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. %
