This moon lights brightly through the pane
and blues you feature by feature.
I watch your peaceful, even breathing.
We've gathered in the grain, begun the winter wait.
This time of year, the moon seems nearer, brighter, dearer.
Sleep, my love, your fearless peace,
for I will see you dancing soon,
on this Harvest Moon.
Musical, lyrical ode to the Harvest moon, Karen.
