Autumn Wishes

A poem of yearning, for lovers apart.

Autumn Wishes

Autumn mists,
Bluebells sleep
'Midst the rain-soaked,
Silent, spell-bound, streets.

Autumn winds
Strong and swift--
Bear these words across the world
To lull my heart's very own to sleep.

Autumn moon
Gleaming bright--
Shine a path across the waves
to guide his dreamsake to my side.

Radiant moon--
Pour your midnight noon
Upon my sweetheart's sea of dreams,
And let him see what he means to me;
Lead him back, oh swiftly, back to me.


NB
The phrase 'pour your midnight noon' is taken from a poem by Robert Bridges, one-time poet laureate of England.
