Frederic Parker Poet Ottava rima

The Covering Mist

The moon gave silent shadows to our form
As we lay beneath its splayed softer light
The time spent is instinctual and warm
As mist from the lake engulfs us from sight
The depth of suspended droplets transform
And roll across us in sheltered delight
To be covered by moisture's misty air
Leaves a mystery,no trace of us there

Carolyn Devonshire August 22, 2014 at 1:51 PM Dear Frederic, This feeling of peace in a hidden environment is eloquently expressed here. I've felt that way when fishing 25 miles offshore. You can dance naked on the deck and no one sees you but God. I sense a deep passion between the two people in your poem. Sending winning wishes your way! Love, Carolyn
