Moon, Wind and Summer at Milford, - (a NON-ENTRY)

Missing image
Moon, Wind and Summer at Milford, (A Non-Entry.)

How still and softly silent, moonlight sleeps
between those rugged mountains’ sombre shade,
illuming ripples wanton breezes laid
aslant its silver pathway o’er the deeps.

Unmoved by wind or breeze, the moon’s face gleams
uninterrupted while she is allowed -
her beams unbroken till some drifting cloud
obscures her lunar light and smothers dreams.

On such a summer night in Milford Sound,
our boat adrift we dreamed, my love and I,
bathed in the moonlight, gazing at the sky,
by age-old mountains girded all around.

Surrounded by such majesty, man’s dreams
and man himself quite unimportant seems.

Hugh (R.) June 1st.2008

    Wow, odds are if this were a legal tender entry I'd be voting for this sonnet. It is truly beautiful Hugh.

    A beautiful and reminiscent poem, Hugh. You make this place seem magical. And I love the picture posted with it. Is this a real place from your youth?

    Dear Hugh,

    It's great how you've combined the three choices into one poem. Your Sonnet as always is beautiful my friend.
    And the picture you have chosen is magnificent.
    Love Bea
