I found this old poem in a dusty foolscap folder under a pile of “stuff” I was tidying up … maybe from 15 years …

Todayβs poem is one that I have not published on my web/blog site, and I am not sure when I first wrote the original words. Up until now, this a piece that has been filed away in a foolscap folder.
A Voice in the Mist
The moonβs my patriarch
My dream, glowing in the dark
Sheβs a vision, no feel, no mound
Only a voice, without sound
A distant shining, so forlorn
My heartache until dawn
Sheβs a pillow, no caress, no kiss
Only a voice, from beyond the mist

The moon kept her, mysterious ways, illuminated the nights, so, we won’t, fear, what’s lurking, in the dark, or the, shadows…
