We harvest all we can to last us through winter Glance at the majestic moon and make a wish with her Magical things happen as her rays beam down a soft side of night cuddles us close Dreams come in quietly holding us nearer We stop to reflect on things gone by The nights get shorter the air carries a chill which we wrap up against Now's the time to shut down I'll stir again when its warmer until that time I will slumber until spring returns and the nights get longer.

What a captivating poem, Shadow. I love the nostalgic and reflective feel of your words about embracing fall. I especially liked: The nights get shorter the air carries a chill which we wrap up against Now's the time to shut down Glad to have you back...love your poetic voice, hugs, Sara
