Standing on a hilltop
Looking back
At a fast receding beam of light
My beam of light
Free now
Disappearing into the distance…
Blind to the ever patient sun
I chased rainbows
The spectrum filled my sight
Running forever
Certain I would catch up
Struggling through a blizzard
Rain stinging my face
I lost sight of the sun…
It became too much
I collapsed
Tired of running
I let my rainbow go…
The sun warms my back
My rainbow flutters away into the night
I am free.
Hear the wolf cry and the old bull bellow
At the pulse of the spirits on the eve of All Hallows
As the sky grows dim and the clouds are low
And the Earth is alight with the Autumn glow
Oh, Samhain, Samhain! The night of old!
The veil grows thin and the ether grows cold
The spirits fly forth at the end of the day
With a candle I show them the way…
I walk in the forest in the cold, crisp air
My spirit is free and my soul is bare
I walk in silence but never alone
The spirits surround me, their power has grown
Oh, Samhain, Samhain! The raven, he calls!
His power it steals through the icy stone walls
As the night nears its darkest,
