Half Moon Night

Tonight there’s a half moon It’s silvery white Hanging by a golden thread in a dark painted sky Around the moon is a delicate halo It looks incandescent to the eye The vision is almost hypnotic It’s a half moon night The air is warm Heavy and thick Not refreshing Summer is in the beginning of its final throes Breathing fire into the day and night Making it hard to live and concentrate Fall is waiting in the wings Eagerly awaited It’s a half moon night
