A Harvest Moonrise
Grass not the same shade of green
Is duller now and lost it's sheen
Less tender leaves they rattle
Like old parchment becomes brittle
Apples ripen above hungry bees
Anxiously buzzing under trees
Crickets chirping keeping time
Ancient rythmic seasons' chime
Youthful deer crossing clover fields
More bolder than an old doe shields
Birds lifting together rise
And settle back to each surprise
A sunset paints some golden skies
Stage is set...for a harvest moonrise
Is duller now and lost it's sheen
Less tender leaves they rattle
Like old parchment becomes brittle
Apples ripen above hungry bees
Anxiously buzzing under trees
Crickets chirping keeping time
Ancient rythmic seasons' chime
Youthful deer crossing clover fields
More bolder than an old doe shields
Birds lifting together rise
And settle back to each surprise
A sunset paints some golden skies
Stage is set...for a harvest moonrise
