Waiting For a Bus

The darkness ends gives way to the dimness that descends, the moor land mist mingles on ceremony a subdued veil strokes the trees. Dewy webs glisten in reams of silver thread, while rushing waters flee over rocky beds. Shadows appear from out of the gloom the queue just gets longer, Number 76 to my destination is running late (Again)! © Harry J Horsman 2012

Kinda scary place to be waiting for a bus. As always Harry I like your style, you have a special way of painting your poetic canvas.

wow, I love this kind of poetry from you. Full of imagery, this one is a FAVE, Harry. I"m out the door for the movie Arbitrage, with Richard Gere as the leading role. Have a Great day and I'm glad you can be online again!
