Summer magic


We are well into summer now and the haze of the heat has engulfed us all. We seek a breath of coolness in the nearest sea by day while by night everything turns magical under the moonlit sky. If you let go and sink into the summer nightscape, you will drift into your dreamland. For each one of us it is different but dreamland it is.
I have tried to capture a little of this magic into the following poem:
A summer night’s vision

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
A  ruthless rift
Insidiously wrought

In the nocturnal harmony
