The Parted Veil

A fire blazing

Cloaked dancers join hands

Singing of new

And of sages,

The fire lit the sky so bright, so high

It looked as if it could reach the moon

As children trick or treated

They waited in hopes the veil

Would part soon,

And chanted with their hands

Reaching to the sky

Held out to the cosmos

Performing rituals of all styles,

Waiting for their passed kin to appear

Hoping to feel their essence

For all that is there participating

Then through the firelight and the darkness

They did approach

To touch their hearts and souls

And let them know

They are always in their presence,

Even through times they can not see them

They assure it doesn't mean

They don't walk along, beside

The enchanters', one by one, show thankfulness

And their blessings every day

To let them know

That now it will help them through

Their sorrowful times

And when they are filled with joy

They will offer it up to all of you.
