Blessed Harvest Moon

Blackened night of splendor
Lifting this starving spirit,
Even as every coyote howls
Serenading the harvest moon;
Such a chill in the autumn air
Engulfing us in the sweetest fog
Derived in Mother Nature's heart.

Hear the wind rustle through the leaves
And the swaying branches moan;
Reel in delight at the heady scent
Venturing forth on the gentle breeze.
Enter this world of color and serenity,
Seeking the peace of the darkest silence,
Through the passages of time.

Marching through the valley
Of wilting flowers and leaves,
Observing their yearly deaths
Nearing their decay.

    Perfect choice of words for this one, it was also very vivid. Congrats on your first acrostic. My fav stanza

    Blackened night of splendor
    Lifting this starving spirit,
    Even as every coyote howls
    Serenading the harvest moon;
    Such a chill in the autumn air
    Engulfing us in the sweetest fog
    Derived in Mother Nature's heart.
