Moonshadows Dancing on the...

Hoang Nguyen

At the water's edge of Mirrorlake, where moonshadows dance in nymph reflections and poets verse longings into soul mirrors, nymph Aqua reflects in bard Ewan's poetic gaze, drawing her from liquid solitude to shore-bound passion. Their dance, shadowed in ripple vows, mirrors the hearts—or distorts them in illusory waves. As they waltz along shadow-laced banks and verse-rippled depths, lured by mirror sirens and rhyme wardens, Aqua's fluid grace blends with Ewan's worded soul, revealing a lake legend of reflected verse. When a clouded moon summons ripple phantoms, they must dance the reflection to clear the mirror. In the sway of moonshadow dances, where every ripple holds a verse and every shadow kisses the light, their love becomes the reflection that binds water and word.
