Unreal.
Shadowy movements of ethereal
music play nebulous games
with the moonlight's white fingers
atop an unreal lake-scape .
Tonight diaphanous curl of filmy
grey smoke whispers its
journey along water's dark face in
slow-paced limpidity.
Time stands still while stars dance
like tiffany dew
on a blackening trout's fishy back
with myriad translucence.
Dappling water mistily pictures
the sickle's glowing shape
of half-seen gauzy luna lantern
trying to flicker again.
Clouds melt and I gaze entranced
as the yellowy ghost
of a flimsy late butterfly passes
in silence so closely.

Yes and were you able to be there I am sure you would paint it most aptly dear Michael - thanks a big brushload for your visit and comment.
moody Fay.. moody
that big ole moon's reflection plays a hide n seek game with the clouds upon the living lake. I want to see the flash of colour, ... yes there it is!... before i set off home to the root of that whispy smokes source and my loved ones.
