Mystery Is

Mystery Is…

Shrouded in an unexplained sudden fog,
In muffled footsteps and muted whispers,
Misty clues on cobweb ridden eyes
I shiver at your faceless mask.

Behind your misty portal door revelations,
Shadow’s puzzles tease the lost conundrum,
Anticipations for enigma’s hidden face revealed
O mystery, you escape all definition.

A great write, Sam!! This piece practically proves that poetry fuses three art forms: music, verbal art and painting.

Hi Newton! Thank you for your gracious compliment. This was such a fun theme to explore. Your description of the poetic art form is spot on! We get to be painters, poets and musicians all at the same time. What a joy! Wonderful perception! All the best!

I'm always a big fan of the words you choose to set the tone of your works, Sam: Shrouded, fog, muffled, muted, misty, enigma. I have much to learn from the way you thoughtfully construct your poetry. Congrats on your win, you are doing so well this week! Grace and peace ~ John

Inspiring words from your humble heart, John. Thank you so much. I have learned so much from your poems, the way you use words and the themes you choose. We have a saying among my ministry musician friends - no matter what we have achieved, we still carry our own suitcase. I count you in that group! A harvest of blessings my friend.
