Continuum

Fog rests on the city, like a cold sweaty hand, hiding intent, as yet unclear, aloft look down and pity. Urban mesh, wet and cold, conceals in dim places, it’s secrets, entombed in the night, stories as yet untold. Metropolitan petri dish, cultured over millennium, wood, stone,concrete, glass, armour plating natures wish. Aloft look down and pity, history secures continuum, until one story yet untold, nature reclaims the city.

I luv this one. Nice use of metaphores. Visually stimulating. Plus truth--it will happen eventually. I luv the expanse of this one. David

A very descriptive poem of the fog over the city and all the outlook it brings out of you. Very well written. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your comment on "The Rain Effect". I should have brought an umbrella. :) About the Hippies, that God wasn't a part of it, is my conclusion and I see God as a parent. And where there's free love, God is not there. There is no sense of responsibility. It is not true freedom either. Thanks again for reading my poem. Best wishes, Caroline.
