Harvest Moon
Through the trees below
the moonlight rises in its glows
hidden ghosts, hidding shadows.
Eerie cries in the quiet night place
call creatures to gather warm and safe
in their self chosen individual space.
Still and quiet nothing moves
the late night, early morning hues
flow in monochrome discolored grays and faded blues.
The harvest moon above them all
signals change and storm residing in the breezy squalls
bringing on the end of summer's final call.
In the distance falls then rise the cooling sun
and in its birth and death the recurring hum
the time of autumn harvest comes.
Full moon glows bright orange and huge
the seasonal marking time of refuge
with all but winter's threatened clues.
