AUTUMN

(originally penned sept. 2003, Mabon Blessings)

Crisp & cool  breezes begin to flow
It is time to reap what we sow
Gather the grains, veggies & fruits
Time to put away summer's pursuits
Hint of Autumn colors all around
Bright oranges, yellows & reds can be found
The details of Harvest festivals are being arranged
The Wheel has turned & the Season has changed
A time of plenty, gratitude & emotion
I thank the Goddess for her sacrifice & devotion
So that I may survive Winter's snow
Until it's time for things to grow
A delicious feast at my table, I set
In a toast, I raise my finest goblet
I drink to family & friends
To the Divine & Summer ends
To the harvest & of course to me
May our Autumn be bright, So Mote It Be.
