Harvest Moon

Harvest Moon

Star-crossed lovers come to doubt too soon

Their love blossomed, intimacy is a feast

Change moves through them, that's the nature of the beast

This season moves from trick or treat, to cosy nights in

Sip on some cocoa, in each others eyes they swim

The wind howls and shuffles clouds around the night sky

She says "I'm yours, and you're mine"

Pumpkin patches and fireplace ashes

They both hold hands, watch on, as time passes

Crunchy leaves

Autumn becomes a day light thief

Children gather at churches, in candlelit rooms

Choirs sing hymns in a graceful tune
