Full Moon Hiku 48

                                            Full Moon Hiku 48

full moon mounts high
silver light dances on waves~
dreams softly unfurl.

I like the one syllable words with long vowels for each word in the first line that go with a big full moon when it is huge in the sky as it rises. The middle line has a sound that matches the dancing light with long and short beats mixed together, and then the dream with the dreamy 'L' sounds 'softly unfurl'. Your hiku paints and sounds a beautiful image. J :)
