A Samhain Poem

Samhain

The wheel has turned
The veil is thin
The candles are glowing
The light remains dim

Our alter stands 

Wearing robes of black
We close our eyes
And help guide them back

The pumpkin grins 

And shines the way

To guide them home 

And keep them safe

With memories ripe
Our loved ones are here
We feel so blessed
To have them so near

They always live on
In what they have taught
In words they have spoken

And thoughts they have thought

An energy remains
Even after they move on
Part of them stays
And always lives strong

The cycle of life
A mystery to us all
We stand strong together
Never to fall

Death is the beginning

 Of new life to come

 Of many more lessons;
Joy, love and fun.

Life is a mystery
Death is a certainty
Love is a blessing....
