Tonight the rain is smashing against
the window pane
the weather here is really awful and
a bitter crosswind causing massive howling
a raging storm now blowing off the land
the trees are obviously out there bending crazily
blast after blast in what appears a rage
the Hawthorn and the Holly
the oak trees and the Pines
its like a banshee’s vitriol
the ancient wood has the signs
of feeling shock and weakness
in the midst of such a storm
Samhain is now upon us
the thinning of the veil
a time evoking spirits
Who may join us on the trail
