When the Lights Go Out in Georgia

scant moon - lullaby’s a whisper. sleeps soon, after mother’s kissed her. moon high, over dusk-hue passion. I sigh with twilight’s compassion. peeking between the pines, her eyes streaking. winsome drive - crescent dives. descent, of what’s left, of the moon. advent of season, coming soon. Christmas, aft will bring a moon, black. snow sass in cul de sac.

It seems like the end of something....or something cornered. Maybe looking back and remembering, and preparing for the season coming...this is a fav for me, and a testament that your words always reach me. <3 hugs
