Autumn Equinox
Autumn Equinox
Obsidian heavens sparkle
Constellations seem closer.
There is a chill in the air.
Day and night the same
Time is equal on this second day
of a year.
North to south Helios travels
Autumns recurring birthday.
Demeter reining goddess
Again mourns her lose.
Waiting the return of Kore.
With her return see the colors
burn on oak and elm.
Celebrate with drink, and harvest
the fruits of land.
Dance and sing, love and play
This time of gathering round the hearth.
The celestial scales balance all
Days become shorter as shadows lengthen
The resting tide is welcomed
Muin gives way to Gort in the
Ebbing time that rules.
