A Summer Night's Vision Poem by Maria Danoussi

The drifting moon
Was gazing down
A seamless blue
The sleepless sea
A swelling lull
The slightest signs
Of life subdued
In its arms
An eerie stillness
The cosmos ruled


A trail of dreams
Wrestling free
Like sailing boats
Under a breath of wind
Their skyward course
Across the nightly cloth
With eagerness pursued

The restless vision
A flight of fancy
Unchecked
In its inception
Aruthless rift
Insidiously wrought
In the nocturnal harmony
