Song/Poem of the Day — Harvest Moon

Harvest Moon
You grace me with your presences and still I shy away I’m a stranger to these feelings You shine so bright like the harvest moon It seems I can reach out and touch you
You make it so easy to get a good view Your light wraps around the sky The air is cool in the glow of the harvest moon Yet you warm my heart
The harvest moon illuminating path guides me to you The fallen leaves under my feet sing to me It’s the season to open my heart to love Can my heart grow as big as the harvest moon
Will it shine as bright, can it give such love I’m frightened of my own light So tender such a heart, will it hurt again Am I worthy, can I reap such love from this harvest moon
This harvest moon of the cool season of my life Giving me its light to open my heart A rare beauty before me Can I reap the love of this harvest moon
The harvest moon of my life Is there courage in my heart to step into the light I see it clearly in the night sky With grace the glow smiles back at me
With grace my heart turns to the harvest moon So gentle my reach to embrace its light
