Harvest Moon When moon is full and stars shine bright, I love to wander through the night. The cool crisp air and ghostly light, clears my mind and makes things right. When strolling thus, beneath the moon, I came upon a dark lagoon, with sounds of nightlife all in tune, the scene was like an old cartoon. In black and white with background sound, I knew a haven I had found, where time had stopped and all were bound, by mystic forces, to the ground. Although this scene seemed sheer delight, I felt that something was not right, though I could see no life in sight, far too much noise, for dead of night,. I turn to leave as shadows loom, my instinct said, all here were soon to dance the role of death’s own tune, by capture souls, beneath full moon. I listened now to every sound, that echoed deep from all around. At last I knew what I had found, a banshee’s lonely hunting ground. But he would never take my soul, to let him live, to make him whole. For then I’d have to take his role. I could not let him claim his goal. So from my mouth I threw a curse, the type that didn’t get much worse. I banished him with one quick verse, before our roles turned in reverse. I really think I did quite well, for all came peaceful in that dwell. My curse had sent him back to hell, thank god that I had used that spell. So now I wander free again, down moonlight tracks and darkest lane, to meet lost souls, then call their name, for ‘reapers’ always win… their game! Ivor G Davies The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last. |

Thanks for all your comments, not sure if I made it clear that this poem was written by the Grim Reaper... Ivor |
