harvest moon

prompt #5: abstract to concrete poem

“Harvest Moon” 

 Trodding the path of maple trees and scented air 

On October’s wind and breathless sighs 

Lost in reverie of a past memory we both share, 

Hollow eyes gazing upon the color-changing sky. 

Pale dry leaves desperately clings to the branch

 as it’s vibrant green hues start to fade 

falling, swirling into the crisp cold air 

finally settling in piles of mulch, it laid.

I shiver as frost nips my fingers, 

the passionate fire dims into glowing embers,

 fleeting memories of former bliss lingers

 as spring’s siren sound stifles down in November

Soon, the harvest moon emerges

like a second burning sun, 

to fill the sky with button stars 

 that morning pulls undone.

 And when I couldn’t slumber, 

 where the nights are awfully slow 

The stars have come,

 to accompany my solemn show

 And it is in twilight hours I see,

 The beauty of it all,

 That everything fades as thee,

 Like an autumn leaf that softly falls.
