Hushed

Hushed                     
                        
                         The
                 Crescent moon
                          is                                  
                     Tossed
                   To and fro                 
                          In 
                           a                              
                    Turbulent
                      cloudy 
                         Sea
                         like
                           a
               Specter pirate’s ship
                     October 
                        Stars
           Flash their beacon light
  To guide the ghostly vessel through
           Blue-black stormy seas
                  November
                      Wind
                   Is coming
                        
               Bare armed trees
              Groaning whispering
              Swaying   pointing
                     Saying…
           ‘This way this way
   Follow the vapor phantom mist
           Along his nightly stay’	
           Leaves rustle rushing	
         Scattering and skittering 
      Moved by some unseen foot
         from a lonely apparition 

      Smoke falls from chimneys’
       Long gone fires’ after-glow							 				 
         A snow like hush fills					
             The nightly air
                 
        She is a vision of white
              An image lit
            By cold bright
      Shimmering moonlight
            Just like her sister
                Beautiful
                 Spring 

         Warmest charm for
               Summer 
         She too has gone
           So will follow
                Fall 
        
         For golden days
  Cool nights she is a delight
         To us mercy from
              Winters’
          “Icy claws”
  She calls to those in the night			
  We are hushed with fright                                                            
  We bar our windows and houses tight……..                                                           
  Now turn out the Light!      NIGHTY-NIGHTY
