SONNET

REFLECTIONS

Summer is fading, its’ brightness subsides

The late evening sun goes down to hide

Replaced by the moon and its’ perfection

It has a face; is it your reflection?

I reach out to touch you; so near, so far

Shining down sweetly like my shining Star

The gold tones of Autumn enrich our days

Like love’s own splendor which ne’er goes away

Sun kissed Autumn leaves; red, yellow and gold

Like jewels on the ground; a sight to behold

The pleasures we gain from such resources

The Sun and the Moon taking their courses

I love the moon, it has such perfection

I can see your face in its’ reflection
