Samhain

Samhain

A Poem by Shreya
"

A poem I wrote on the eve of Samhain, our newyear, this 2013. PS. Samhain is what the normal people call "Halloween" It's a tribute to all the good spirits protecting us and helping us all around.

"

I stare out the window

Mist everywhere,

Are they approaching?

The leaves are turning cold

The trees are humming the names

I feel myself getting erased in this exotic feeling

The wind blows

So cold,

The stars blink, just like I blink my eyes,

I see the long forgotten sight

The sea, the mountains, the forest,

Getting smudged inside the mist all at once

And as I've known,

The veil was getting thinner every second,

I finally smile,

Knowing the veil is gone.

They have came.

It's their time.

Brilliant imagery and great transitions!
I feel like I went on a journey and saw all those images!

The poem is about a person that has an extra sensory skill and is able to pay attention to what most persons disregard. The character in the poem describes how voices carried by the wind announce the arrival of the once lived.

"The veil was getting thinner every second,

I finally smile,

Knowing the veil is gone." I like the veil imagery. Time to go at the end... Just enough to keep the reader guessing.

Samhain
-----------

Staring out of the window
everywhere mist,
...are they approaching?
trees are humming the names,
their leaves growing cold,
myself I feel becoming erased through such exotic feeling,
the wind moves so cold,
the stars blinking, my eyes blink,
seeing long forgotten sights-
the sea, the mountains, the forest,
feeling smudged inside the mist all at once,
and as I've known,
the veil now thinner every moment,
finally I smile
knowing the veil is gone.
They have come.
It is their time.

I think there's just a few grammar issues,
The trees are gumming the names- might sound better ifnit was, their name.
Then towards the end, they have came- should be they have come.
Still, i like the journey and if you just allow yourself to be a bit more raw, it will be even better. Keep it up!

Hello Vidya, thank you. :) I really appreciate your comments. :) xx
Your observant and poetic nature surely complement each other. I applaud your descriptive piece, as it feels like I have seen what you have seen, and heard what you have heard.
