Poem to the Mid-Autumn Moon

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival
Poem to the Mid-Autumn Moon
By See Teik Guan

Incense smoke the midnight sky
As lighted dragons come to life
Laughter, prayers soaring high
Happy children, husband, wife

Mountains carved in moonlight sheen
Rivers rustle through the land
What finest gem within this scene
That feasts the eyes and hearts of Man

Tea imbibed with sweet delight
Lotus paste and song birds croon
Poets chart the maiden's flight
With paean to the autumn moon
