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.
Silvery moonlight
In the silence of the night
Two lovers weave dreams
Harbour verdant still
Sail boats lapping weary sleep
Rice bowls candle lit
