October Festivals

Diwali

In your heart

Safe from harm

The light of hope

Shines like a charm

Keep hold of hope

To light the way

And chase doubt

Far away

Samhain

The year draws in

All harvests done

Now count the days

Till Spring is come

In the runes

A fortune fold

And in a song

Tall tales are told

Light the bonfire

For more light

We'll celebrate
Samhain tonight

All Hallows Eve, All Souls & Saints and the Day of the Dead

In the candlelight's translucent air

Full of the angels incense and prayer

Dusk and dawn rub thin

To where, beyond death's veil

All sorrows cease

And love prevails

For one night we'll walk

Footsteps across the floor

A shiver in a silver flame

Echoes of the nevermore

In the moonlight's soft embrace

All phantom spirits, ghouls and wraiths

Dance to their ceaseless song

As lanterns call the enchanted throng

By morning light sharp contrast throws

The passing night into fleeting shadows

All Hallows Eve

All Souls, All Saints

And all the Dead

Are passing now into the night

As we walk in the new daylight

All Hallows Eve

All Souls, All Saints

And all the Dead

Across Lethe sail

All sorrows cease

And love prevails
