In This Breathless Moment

Dark evening skies

In shades of blue

The broken image

Of the moon on the water

Silver light spills

And falls in heavy drops

Colour roaming

In lazy, silent winds

Encircled

By creeping shadows

A hint of rain

Tumbles in

From the slopes of the sky

And sinks too soon

Into the starless sea

Time without end

Is in this breathless moment
