Starlight at Hawthorne Valley Farm

A full moon penetrates this cool November night.
Its'  light whispers  through the naked tree  branches.
as the moon glow caress the cold brown earth.
In the distance I feel the ever present Appalachian silhouette 
resting  in her peaceful familiar  posture.
Tranquility has engaged another evening  and friends that
graze on this fertile land  lay quietly hearing the evenings song. 
A grateful sun has gone to rest and the timbers that shared their shade slowly close their lights one on one.
The wind stirs a blanket of brown crumbling leaves, a door creeks,
two whispers pass hurriedly to find a warm embrace and  at a distance there is  a howling swell of  city sounds, thankfully   still too far away to break this evening's song,
