Morning Mystic

Morning Mystic

Mysticism is not for me,
I know that wind is blowing free,
Nor does it speak engagingly of
Memories of another time.

I read my book, yet I feel a presence,
What is this touching – barely brushing?
The atmosphere is a tricking morning.
Are you really there – oh, no you couldn’t be.

I return to my book, yet your presence remains,.
Do I hear a whisper, feel a touch, are you free,
Oh, No! You could not be, you are not free
To brush, to whisper, to curl around another memory,

Oh, no, mysticism is not for me,
A presence wanting attention,
A voice floating, bothering like an insect,
I know mysticism is not for me.

I read the title as Morning Mist to begin with. Then, oh wait it's Mystic. The title is what draws us in. Well done. I liked it all but especially the line, to curl around another memory. Very well put........pat

Pssst, hey, it's me can you hear me? : ) This was really cool my friend. I like how this took me down the page looking for what would happen next and then I find..."or". Hmmm, maybe a sequel coming?

Ah! You have a new avatar! Now I can hear you! LOL. Probably no sequel unless the "spirit" moves me.
