Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Morning Mist

The mist rolls in like a mythical creature
It rolls and winds itself  around, clinging,
like a choking vine clings to life.
It rides in softly, white, transparent,
Yet visible to the naked eye.
It creeps, it encases everything
Nothing, is left untouched in it's wake.
Visual one moment and the next gone.
