On a fleeting mystic night
In the sleepy waters of the sea
I behold a stunning yakamoz
Alluring ripples of silver and light blue floating
Bewitched by the sight
I drown myself in her beguiling soul
Anita Bacha
‘Yakamoz’ is a Japanese word meaning the reflection of the moon on the surface of water, it can be a lake,a river or the sea or any other expanse of water.
I have just learned this word.It strikes me by its beauty.
Alabaster moon
Hearkening to thunderstorm
Petrified seamen
Lost in the midst of nowhere
Haunting memories of home
Anita Bacha
Thank you for your visit today, my dear friends.
Resting on the sea
Magnificent orange moon
Swayed by soft ripples
Anita Bacha
Good morning, my dear friends
Thank you for your visit
there’s nothing that you can see
that’s not a flower,
there’s nothing that you can think
that’s not the moon.
