Moonlight flood
The glistening liquid mirror
fluttering ever so gently
Amidst the summer calm

Evokes hypnotic dreams
Of romance amid the stars
Casting the mind
With a fisher of whims

To Create an incandescent fantasy
Soothing and enticing all at once
Waiting wistfully to consummate
A hopeful whimsy

As it Cleanses the mind Of animosity
Emancipating the thoughtful prisoner
For a peaceful moment
Until the light is no more.
