I Sit At the Bench

Deep into the mist, fog entails all gray The trinkets of hair pieces has my day Opens her relevant hands that fist Fog entails all gray, deep into the mist Lamppost dimly lights with an amber glow Never a hostile scene just calm we know Webs condensate even during the nights With an amber glow, lamppost dimly lights My path before me I can’t see the end Fog has blazed its mark, surely it does send Its vibe scratches my head leads tenderly I can’t see the end, my path before me I walk slowly, unknown the gravity Fence blocks my progress holding endlessly Light is glowing over my head freely Unknown the gravity, I walk slowly I sit, I sit at the bench which I passed My mind in warm tears to what has amassed Fog seems to have hurt me, even a bit I sit at the bench which I passed, I sit Contest: Swap Quatrains.

SIGH! This captured me SO good! I felt a similar experience to this some years ago. This hit home a bit. Tremendous.

A beautiful poem! I love how you mention the fog bringing you pain, and yet it's such irony, for fog, to me, is beautiful and comforting. Nice work here. I'm sorry I have not stopped by in a long while. I thank you for all your kind comments on my poetry these past few months.
