For September

Today I saw the moon
It was such a beautiful sight.
Today I saw a clear blue sky
And I will sleep well tonight.

Today I thought of home
Of the distances in-between.
Today I touched the dew
Twas the prettiest of all I’ve seen.

Today I hugged the cold
A brave and needful start.
Today I made a friend
He came with a gentle heart.

Today I fell in love
A warming new respite.
Today I learned to dance
It set my limbs alight.

Today I learnt to rhyme
My fingers rasped again.
Today I wrote a line
And it smelt sweeter than the rain.

Today I saw the moon
It was such a pleasant sight.
Today I saw a clear evening sky
And I will sleep well tonight.
