Awaiting Reality - Tri

Through autumn morning's misty pall like luffing sails on ancient ships and blinding fog in which we crawl to moor our hopes in empty slips. Like luffing sails on ancient ships, the billows drift just off the coasts much like the hauntings of gray ghosts. And blinding fog in which we crawl, a stage where nothing seems quite real except the silence that we feel. To moor our hopes in empty slips where only silhouettes remain ~ await reality again...

Congratulations on a well deserved win. Your poem takes us through the uncertainty and nostalgia that we humans experience while pinning our hopes and navigating blindly through empty promises as it were. But on a positive note when we intuit reality the signal has already gone out into the quantum field and it’s already happened. Maria
