harvest

you know as sure as it is
soft and light around my shoulders
and warm as a mango sun
dipping the line dividing you and me
that the fruit of our labour
is a basket upon the sea
so tell me of one thing more magical
than the harvest on the table
this candle this flame
flickering here and there
vulnerable to a darkness this night
will never swallow whole
