MOON’S MAGIC
A lone black cat sits on the edge of our world, under the harvest moon. Her green eyes reflect the celestial beams, and her fur absorbs the stars. She rubs against the night’s promise, and its magic fills her soul.
our perceived shackles
released in nature’s healing
under the moonbeams
HARVEST MOON
full moon
autumn’s forest
fairies celebration
of a season full of magic
joyful
all the woodland creatures join them
dancing under the stars
before the snow
arrives.
blood red trees
autumn’s forest glows
hunter moon
