On This Day I See (A Samhain Poem Of Long Ago)

On this day when I see

Leaves changing from green

To yellow, orange and brown

My heart lifts, it is time

The begining of Autumn.

 

A Samhain ritual to mark

The passing of the old

Into the new, joyfully

The rebirth of the life

Of the old God begins soon.

 

On this day when we see

The changing seasons from

Warm into cool, soon

We will see a winter's chill

And we will settle in for winter's rest.

 

A day like today should be

blessed with the goodness

It deserves with all of our hearts,

A gift from our Goddess

A promise to our God.

 

On this day when I feel

The colors around me change

The songs of the birds

Take on a new song,

One of joy.

 

A day like today will only bring in me a

Moment to think, a chance to see the changes

Within and without as I continue

On my exploration of life

In peace and harmony.
