September

Summer's sweet breath continued on 
With days that warmed our hearts with love 
So too did the stars fill the skies twinkling in the night 
The moon reached out to the earth with love 
After preparing for this spectacular event since 1982 
Their vows to each other renewed 
To celebrate, the man on the moon put on a lunar show  
With his blood red moon dazzling people near and far 
They danced the night away until the morning light sparkled 
The sun reminded them that the universe must break them away 
The moon is needed for the ebb and flow to help the earth grow 
Always in union forever faithful to one another 
As the moon reminisces with the earth each night  
Sending  the glow of moonlight while the sun dips low 
2033 may sound a long way off 
But a moment in the grand scheme of things 
As the earth and moon will have a chance to renew and dance again.
