At zenith, the bright sun shines,
Heavenly orbs spinning around the glory
Of the sun; day’s glinting hues a mere reflection.
.
In the water, espying its reflection
The radiant moon shines,
Billowing tides hail its glory.
.
Reign fugacious of the glory
Surreal illusory reflection,
Sun and moon eclipse; overcast shrouding shines.
.
Shines glory forever a mirage of vain reflection.

Tritina form
It is a ten-line poem composed of three tercets and a final line. The technique used is lexical repetition rather than riming. The end words of the first tercet are repeated in a specific order for the next two tercets and all three words appear in the last line.
