Found in my journal from foreign study

And when they say that
The moon shone like day...
Well, I've seen it.
I've seen fields of silver
and forests of black velvet
I've seen mountains
cut against a deep azure sky
sprinkled with crystals.
I've seen mist
descending on the valleys
clouds cloaking the mountains
and snow
glow on the hills.
And there are lakes that
glisten like dark mirrors
reflecting that world
as though
The image were the reality.
