Samhain Spirits (For my dearest sister Nicola)

Samhain Spirits

~dark some night and black as pitch~

~bringing forth the winter witch~

~in moons pale light the candle flicker~

~burning of the man of wicker~

~spirits fly from ancient graves~

~to find their way through ghostly maze~

~the Samhain Sabbath upon us now~

~forgotten magic this night we bow~
