Moonlight in Vermont

Rain poured all day
Awakening the senses of the heart
In a new way

Pitter pat pitter pat pitter pat

eternal Om resonated through the house like a bigger pulse and force of depth of life

Pitter pat pitter pat pitter pat

Walking downstairs the smell of coffee and Nag Champa scented the air
The wine glasses remained as they were with the candles burned low
luring me back to the late eve and the day past

Pitter pat pitter pat pitter pat

Magical mystical memory
Of a drive in the countryside filled with crisp colors of orange, red, brown and green
Horses, cows, chickens and dogs
Pumpkins, apples, gourds and hay

Pitter pat pitter pat pitter pat

The speed of the wind
The sun’s golden rays
Gave the face a flush in the cheeks
Balsam trees unexpectedly scented the road
A covered bridge offered another sweet surprise

Pitter pat pitter pat pitter pat

The walk through the ferns revealed
Hemlock trees reflecting in the pond
Turkeys and ravens sounded out their call as dusk approached
And the gibbous moon rose in the star-filled sky

Pitter pat pitter pat pitter pat
