Autumn Cravings

The well is dry,

nothing to yield,

No harvest to reap,

Just fallow ground,
Ready to sleep.


What can this heart

Give when it

Is so empty

So shriveled in contempt.


It was so full

Over brimming with love

And then it just

Died and found no one

To fill it again.


Oh harvest moon
You seem so full

I am a vessel yearning

To be filled and content.

The fullness must come

From within.


Feeling broken

Looking ceaselessly

for whatever it is

In the chasms inside

That can refill the soul
While "I" hide.
