Isee you shining like a jewel of night,
you, possibility maker, dream-world guide,
you, nighttime magician with one bright side;
queen of the ocean, where you rest your light,
tell me why, like an ocean wave, my sight
turns toward you through the darkest sacrifice,
why you, fierce goddess, diana, entice,
and why toward you my deepest dreams take flight.
- "sonnet xv," maximilian voloshin
