Mist Poem by Henry Tong

Mist



In an alley it permeates
casting on me a facade
I cannot see.

Its thickness quilts
people with blindness and
bruises my skin.

Its talons clasp
my image, my being,
down into abyss.

I swallow the moisture
of clamor in a crowd;
I sip insipidity.

There is no acquaintance
if the mist of moral
veils humanity.

But once I walk out
of the darkest scheme
I set the world free.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Sometimes we are all covered by some misleading facts. They distort our views on a particular person and make whom the target to blame. I choose not to fall under what the crowd says. I choose to walk out of the invisible mist and see the picture from my own eyes. I am sober.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I swallow the moisture of clamor in a crowd; I sip insipidity. Well it catches the right mood. Sometimes art is like that- you'll endure boredness before you succeed.Thank you for sharing, young poet!
