The Thinning of the Veil

In cinder and spark we watch the days become darker, and the cool and embraces the air

Peering forth into the canopy of leaves our eyes begin to stare

At patchwork colors of yellow and orange the seasons are going to sleep

Through jacketed arms and hand warmed fires the ancestors begin to creep

The thinning of the boundaries of worlds, transparency manifests

The souls of the departed speak with fervor and with jest

The season of the apple and spice brings forth the harvest’s bounties

Manifesting forth beyond the mist, ghosts are discarding all of their follies.

To speak again amongst the dead is a pleasure we indulge once yearly

And the hearts of man reach into the dark and embrace that which was lost dearly.

Put your life and heart upon the pure and weigh it upon its scale

As we celebrate forward within these nights the thinning of the veil.
