Midst of a Mist

blurred in midst of a mist deep, dark woods in diaphanous, thick, heavy air enshrouding shrubs and trees in translucent pearlescent smog. spooky outlined murky shapes look surreal, like white ghosts. I am afraid to take uncertain steps in unseen fear of stumbling. Shortsighted vision does not foresee a golden sunshine in the arcane paths burgeoning a new silver dawn ahead with welcome notes of birdsongs. I choose to stay lost forever... in midst of my comfortable mist zone.

When we are not sure of the way ahead, we prefer to stay in our own comfort zones, never taking a chance. Perhaps it could lead to a new silver dawn.... not quite sure. Beautifully penned with some striking images, dear Debjani. Thanks for your visit to my page.

Dear Debjani, on the surface this could be a beautiful, intriguing poem about fog in the pre-dawn woods.. or.. it could be a deeper more intimate poem of the fear of taking chances, to change a circumstance or of a fear of failure.. with success "a new silver dawn ahead" unable to be seen or imagined. Your last two expressive lines are amazing.. "comfortable mist zone".. we've all made that choice at one time or another. I love this thought-provoking piece! Exquisite. A fav! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
