The Strawberry Moon
Full and bright
Reflection at waters edge
I am here
***********
You are there
Do you see the moon
Full and bright
Or
Struggling to beam
In Smokey light?
The Strawberry Moon
Full and bright
Reflection at waters edge

***********
You are there
Do you see the moon
Full and bright
Or
Struggling to beam
In Smokey light?
YOU
Are always looking
Never seem satisfied
Feeling like you missed out on something
Back in time
Revisiting the past
Wondering
WHAT IF
The answer is this
HOME
YOU
are looking for
HOME
maybe it’s right in front of you
Are you afraid to ask?
It’s that kind of morning
Crisp
Sparkling grass
Dripping wet from recent rains
Dogs breath steaming upward
Sunlit fluffy clouds drift
Pushed along
By a skiff of a breeze
Settling in the valleys
Clinging to the trees
Finally feels like fall
The day was young
A glimpse of dawn
From skye-light hung
The Aspens
The Aspens stood quietly
Waiting
Waiting for the very first breeze
To shake their glossy manes
In the earl October freeze
Gently rising
Myst from the lake
All were waiting
For the Aspens to Quake
The sun drifted up slowly
Awakening the breeze
Sending the signal to awake
Oh Aspen, Oh Aspen
Standing in the breeze
Quake, Quake, my beautiful,
My beautiful Aspen Trees!
