Yakamoz – A Poem by Anita Bacha

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.
