Moon in the fall

As the setting sun spreads from the west
and the moon struggles to rise
The river glows half red, half blue
The moon's cool blue gets stronger with time
as the weakening sun's red fades away
Under the September moon dew drops appear as
pearls glistening in the pale blue light
Trees on the banks reflect from the water
Far from its source
the quiet river flows gently
through the mountains.
