Walking Mist

Mist rolls in from over the ocean

A thick canopy hanging across the water

Like a bridal veil over the face of a lover.

 

The chill seeps into the soul's bones,

Down past skin and muscle,

There to remain until the end of time.

 

The air here is fresh and clean,

Sprays of salt water and the seagull's cry

Transport the mind to different tides.

 

The sand is soft beneath translucent bare feet

As one soul wanders into the waves

That hungrily creep along the shoreline.
