Autumn Evening Poem by Dyhanara Rios

One autumn evening, I was raking leaves,
Under a full moon and the glittering sky.
Two birds sang in harmony atop the trees,
Watched me a while, then decided to fly.

Then I thought about that school day.
And all the things we had to say.
For the first time in a while,
I felt alive and could truly smile.

This morning was nothing short of wonderful;
Our conversation over music, simply beautiful.
I have always adored our time together,
Intellectually talking about the weather,
Or talking about life as it passes us by.

As I watch the day turn into night,
I marveled at the glittering lights
Of the sun, the moon, and the stars.
But none quite as bright as you are.

Nothing comes close to the warmly feeling
Recalling memories on an autumn evening.
