Moonlight Reflections

by June Sargent




White sand in moonlight



conjuring images



of time and places from long ago



When ships sailed the seven seas



in search of fountains of youth and Incan gold



When ships became vessels of hope



for men seeking asylum from persecution



or vessels of death



for those captured to be sold ~



depending upon which way the winds blew



Some reaped riches as merchants



Others pillaged as pirates



History preserved



within each grain of sand ~



like buried treasure



sifted through time,



offering a glimpse into the past ~



as we chart a straighter course



for the future ~



Moonlight reflections
