“Wind, fire, sea, stone Breath, flame, wave, bone Long light has lingered here, Earth still is warm, Deepening shadows lost by the dawn. Long darkness rising here, though heat lingers on, Twist of the Equinox – Mabon has come. Dead leaves fall silently, drift on the air, Trees standing, slumbering – dry, cracked and bare. Time passes quietly, echoing past: Earth calls the winter in. Mabon at last! Shadows through the mist I see: Time passing silently. Starlight, as the Spiral bends. Moonlight, as the daylight ends.” - Leanne Daharja Veitch, Mabon: Song of the Autumn Equinox
