Samhain

Be careful on the roads tonight, my dear,

The Fae are dancing, and the hunt is riding;

Along leaf-strewn lanes and misty copses

Where the ether stretches - embrace your fear,

Take care where you tread, and do so lightly,

The other side presses in, hanging so heavy

Against the chilly eve of our world, nightly.  

Invite them in, and place a dumb-supper,

Remember those who came before you,

As the rain taps on your window like

A long-lost lover, be sure to call come in!

Be welcoming, as the veil draws thin.
