Mist Poem by David Harris

Mist

Rating: 5.0


The mist moved across the field
swallowing up everything in its path.
A white blanket that hovered
inches above the ground.
It came in the cool of dawn
and vanished like a ghost
near the beginning of the day.
While it stayed, you could not see
anything within a foot of thee.
The mist that came like a sleeking ghost
was now gone after being hit
by the rays of the morning sun.

I miss the mist....lol...and living on the lake....now I'm to far inland to get it....once in a great while when a quick change in temps during the day
