Samhain

Traveling home before the dawn

Moving in darkness without the light

From the cold towards the warmth

Seeing out into the “Old Ways”

 

Passing through the Veils

Curtains of mist drifting on the breeze

Eddies of cool and warm air

Shifting the shapes of the mist

 

Modern road instead of ancient path

Vapours rise from all forms of moisture

Each warm puddle, stream, river, lake

Chilled air passes over, opening the touching world

 

Samhain (SAH:win) is forming

The time of the thin veils

Worlds touching

Ghosts, memories, the Other People passing

 

Walk the paths in your mind

Traveling in other “normal times”

Holding souls that were never held

Forming together when crossing through the Veil.

Written over a few years. As Samhain is coming seems like a good time to finish.
