Moonbeam

A moonbeam hurled Earthward and exploded in forest below with quiet gravity. Silent translucent reflection bent, disturbed by waterflow of winding brook. A new birth to share with those held fast in luminous glare.

A variation of a Greek chiasm | chiasmus which doesn’t necessarily rhyme (ancient Greeks rhymed “themes” rather than sounds). However the chiasm takes on sound rhymes. Ancient chiasm scheme is ABBA or ABCBA. This variation is ABCCBDD.
