The Lady In the Mist

The Lady in the Mist In a land where memories are lost within a heartbeat Where all of your dreams and imagination find retreat Somewhere between a glimpse, what is lost, what is real Drawing you closer into a realm, distant echoes so surreal In a forest forgotten, ghostly dense fog, cascading mist Deep shrouded foliage, solemn effigies, something amiss Moonlight shadows, mystical dance, light shining through Moisture droplets kissing forest floor, glistening morning dew In this place, time has no meaning Forgotten lands, love lost gleaning Void between reality and dream realm All of your senses, truly overwhelmed A mystical world to you and I Lost within the blink of an eye Imagination hold no bounds In what each corner rounds A strange entity seemingly floats amongst the trees As if there were a ballerina dancing within the breeze Though you see very little, just a silhouette in the mist Drawn to an enchantment, a beauty you cannot resist Walking a path that lies before you, unfamiliar steps Pausing, wondering, what lies beneath it’s depths An image once again appears, in one gasping breath Phantasmal entity lost somewhere between life and death Grappling with your mind, and what your eyes truly sees A casual encounter, your intuition undeniably disagrees In a instant, just a whisper, shadows take on new forms Awakening your senses, within your internal thunderstorms Lost in this prism, fear grips your body and your very soul You amass some courage, confidence loosing all control This strange entity that now seems to be, then no longer there Vanishing into the abyss, leaving you confused and unaware She is just the lady in the mist Guiding you, to what lay amidst Merely a shadow of days past Perhaps a lost love, never to last
