Through the Night

The summer runs deeper into the night Feelings of oppression follow after As the heat moves over and beyond me I know that the night-beams flow onward These tired waves of aggression leaves Painful moments brought inward go awry This brings me towards the midnight hour Where cooler temps are brought upon The moonbeams bring the slippery night Where the longer night harps on dimly As we go deeper into the darkness Where the moon caresses the evening fog Autumn comes slipping into the nightlife As the fall comes drooping inside imparting Dissolving summer into its smaller pieces Cooling the night air to the calmer moonlight Softer the wind breezes on by with envy As the morn starts to come up once again But this time Autumn has surely begun And the moon brings with it a huge grin Russell Sivey
