Into The Mist Poem by Robert Eckstein

Into The Mist

Rating: 5.0


I dream a horse, a cat, a dog,
A butterfly.
I ride into the mist.
Cat prowls on my left flank.
Dog sniffs along on my right.
Butterfly takes point.

Horse picks her way
Through abandoned arms
And mouldy bones.
I have no hope;
Ride slack-reined
Toward the horizon's glow.

Is it the sunrise,
Or just another fire?
Or is it the final light
Of a disgusted setting sun
That has seen too much?

Very nice and vivid images with active motions for each, and profound thoughts that carry weight and impact in the end lines.
