#poem, «The Moon Your Mirror»

THE MOON YOUR MIRROR

Your reflection on the moon, your mirror, adorns heaven
You lie between the green of the mountains
Your touch makes the earth vibrate softly
Skin to skin magnificent
You sooth my thirst with the morning dew,
and lift the fragrance of the cold from my hands

The soft silver light, of four bright stars, illuminates your face
from where brilliant rays of beauty flow

You shelter me, caress me and comfort me
in this valley of endless dreams

The breeze sings ancient melodies
as it wonders through the forests

And I search for you at nightfall
Is that a shadow that I see?
Or is it your silhouette against the light of the moon?

A pirouette in outer space
A voice proposing love eternal
No promises
No plans

The fire in the valley burns when love is absent to extinguish it
Fire burns unstoppable in the land of endless dreams.
