Moria


Moria, a green-clad land
With verdant trees and white sea-sand
Rivers as sweet, healing and clear
As the phoenix’s starry tears

The wind that sweeps ‘cross Moria
Carries in it wings euphoria
All who breathe it in cry no more
But delight in what life has in store.

The birds there sing sweet symphonies
That would bring any mortal to his knees
Concertos invite arpeggios
A dancing step that leaps and flows.

I can almost taste its pure rains
Dripping so cool into summer days
Running over the grass’s leaves
Draining down from heaven’s eaves…
                ——Sonrisa Quaglato
Former OJC Exchange Student
