Notes About The Poem

Line Gauthier's Bite Size No. 70 Contest ~ August 24, 2023

Illusory Vision

In an illusory vision, I perceive the moon                       
High aloft the world in midnight's pitch,
polished to a satiny sheen; burnished pearl,
a solitaire gem mounted in celestial skies
surrounded by multi-faceted diamonds,
myriads of gleaming stars before my eyes.

This makes me think of a lustrous pearl on a fine silver chain laid on a blanket of velvet, just lovely~
