As the veil thins <br />Worlds merge to be as one <br />Spirit walk among us <br />as we welcome our ancestors back to be with us. <br /> <br />The hounds of annwyn ride as the sun sets <br />collecting the souls of those who have left us <br />Where they will rest and reflect in the summerlands <br />either to wait for us <br />or to come back into our lives <br /> <br />A time to cleanse <br />to clear our hearts and minds of things that have befallen us, <br />of loves lost, friends gone, <br />of memories that hurt us <br /> <br />A time to start over <br />with joy in our hearts <br />and fire in our spirits <br />with the wisdom of the elders <br />and the teachings of our ancestors <br /> <br />It is a good time to be a witch <br />We know our responsibilities <br />our need to ensure the ways of the old ones are not forgotten <br />and that we pass on the teachings, <br />to those who wish to know. <br /> <br />Blessed Samhain, <br /> <br />) O(<br /><br />Pagan Wolf<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blessed-samhain/
