Notes About The Poem

Fog

On misty road
Not quite yet dark

The landscape growls
No warning bark

Be vigilant
As hidden here

Inside your mind
Uncaptured fear

They roam outside
To trap, ensnare

Grey blanket hides
The monsters there

The causeway twists
Into the clouds

Boundaries draped
In vapour shrouds

Blink too long
In hypnotic mist

Mistakes will spiral
Into it's dark abyss

Already giants
Peer from the grey

Entice you for 
"a feast" they say

Hold your nerve
Be strong, be stable

Don't accept the call
To the giants' table

So kind of you to stop by. Many a foggy drive has shapeless entities emerging through the mist, let's hope they are passive :)
