Moonlight in the Forest - Aaro Hellakoski

Under sleepy branches
a strange light shines,

in the forest a magic path
comes from nowhere, leads nowhere.

My shadow fled, I am
without body. disolved in moonlight.

My step remains suspended in mid-air,
My hand touches emptiness.

Aaro Hellakoski (1893 - 1952) Finland
