There is a harvest moon drifting
over the city tonight
I have just come home,
leaving the bright lights
to the night mongers.
I stand in cool autumn air,
thoughts rushing forth,
a dove set free.
Our song goes on,
leaving scattered notes.
Pale glows of street lights,
quivering in the
summer breeze,
have a haunting effect
as night’s shadows descend.
These were to be the
best days of our lives.
I watch the night burn away;
the harvest moon will fade,
and April will bring new grass.
