HARVEST MOON

 

 I awoke from a dream early this morning,

stepped outside…was met by a cold autumnal breeze

and the glow of the harvest moon

over the mountains…peeking through the trees.

 

I was reminded of a legend

one with an indigenous theme

that…If for some reason you can’t sleep at night

It means you’re awake in someone else’s dream. 

 

If that was the case I stood in the cold…

enjoying the crickets nightly tune

and watched through the trees and over the mountains 

the setting of that harvest moon

 

I watched her shine her light across the sky…

watched her slowly drop…

watched her wave goodbye…

and dive behind the mountain top.

 

And I thought…

 

if I am awake in someone else’s dream

wherever they may be

there dream will be a beautiful dream

if they’re dreaming my reality.
