Harvest Moon

Mesmerized by the light shone from high above her beauty casting shadows across the rippling bay my heart beats violently for her She gazes lovingly toward my gentle soul standing all alone on the barren hillside Wondering from where such beauty has emerged I pinch myself for fear it is a dream I stumble down the edge of the sea In hopes that my beauty will stay my hands are trembling my eyes are wide open The closer I get she is out of my sight Have I lost this beauty? I hear nothing but the rush of the tide upon my soaking limbs Out of the sea arises an image dripping and glowing surrounded by the reflection of the harvest moon I dive toward her Hoping to grasp her hand She seems just out of reach and starts to sink deep into the dark waters I dive down to reach her deeper and deeper My breath has been lost My vision I saw has been lost No longer a reflection in the harvest moon.
