Happy Samhain! Please enjoy my post for Samhain on the Womb of Light Blog and may the blessings of the ancestors be realized on this most sacred of seasons…
Crackling leaves are burning
Transformed from life to death
The crow calls out relentlessly
To those unseen and life withers
In the blasting of its issue.
The Crone’s outstretched hand
Pulls me tightly to her breast
The air chills at her touch
Long icy fingers tapping out the
Heart beat of life’s pulse within.
The solemn silence of darkness
The pause of silent breath
Power and strength drawn
From the sinewy strands of time.
Quartered path of
Gravel and stone
Flesh and blood
Moonlight and stars.
The wellspring of Earth and
The light of the cosmos above
Host the spirits who walk
Along Her sacred path.

Thank You!
Beautiful words. Blessed Samhain.
