moon

Moon appears
Outlines a silver dolphin
From the water leaping
Fanned by moonlight,
Pure and white.
Stars flicker like candles in the night
So near,
So clear
Galaxies encircle me with eternal light.
Night bird sounding, taking flight.
Crickets chirping,
A moonlit stream tripping and trickling
Over rocks sparkling and glinting
On the banks, virgin grass grows untouched
Graced with dewdrops.
