Through the Mist

Through the Mist


Dawns mists do not deny what they obscure
encasing us in cones of all alone
create a fear that none - but one - endure
the silencing of memories unknown.
Cool damp of muted teardrops - never pure
obliterate the beauty of the throne
as kingdoms of imagination rise
on echoes of a misted, rising tide.

Nette Onclaud Date: 8/31/2014 11:33:00 PM enjoyed how you mind and heart work to create this visual.. did you mean DAWN'S mist?... lovely, john.. thank you for gracing my contest and congrats! Login to Reply John Lawless Date: 9/1/2014 9:01:00 AM Nette, I went back and forth on the "dawns mists" vs "dawn's mists". figured it was the plural as in the mists of many dawns or the collective mists of the creeping dawn. Oh, well, sure am glad I renewed my Poetic License. Thanks for your time and effort with these contests.
