Halloween
The Celts held that at the end
of the old year, start of the new,
the veils between worlds grew thin
and donned masks to confuse
evil spirits that might haunt them.
It was a fearful time,
but now we mask the children
and take them to beg for sweets
and mask ourselves to revel.
Beware of frivolity in dire times;
save revelry for when
we defeat the evil in our lives.
Los celtas creían que al fin
del año viejo, comienzo del nuevo,
los velos entre mundos adelgazaban
y se enmascaraban para confundir
a espíritus malignos que los buscara.
Era tiempo espantoso,
pero ahora enmascaramos a los niños
y los llevamos a pedir dulces
y nos enmascaramos para pachanguear.
Cuida de frivolidad en tiempos peligrosos;
reserva la pachanga para cuando
derrotemos el mal en nuestras vidas.
