the night out of a painting

Silver glazed moon-kissed ripples
follow the bucking and thrusting waves,

waltzing to the chimes of nature,

and caress the white marble grains.
Engulfed in the strong arms 

of the silhouette of the mountain wise,
in the radiant blue-black twilight
while the giggling stars bear witness,

she surrenders

as the ebbing tide carries her away

with lingering pleasure
to the ethereal world of enchanting charms.
