When the shy moon sings
all the golden stars shimmer
across the turquoise oceans
an incandescent cloud ballet begins
to draw mermaids and dolphins in
to view the eclipse of the night
a rose out of paradise fades
Upon the green and blue canvas
a thousand eyes look up
‘Indoni yamanzi’
goddess in satiny light
irridescent pearl turns her face
like a silent maiden, smiles
earth’s shadow echoes her name
