Winternight Lane


chilliness glistens
under traffic citylamps
an abandoned road
time slowly travels little
mist chasing away the ghosts

Enjoyed! The pondering at pause. Like the mist chasing away the ghosts…haunting or metaphorical.

Paige, you have painted a haunting picture of a dimly lit snow filled road inviting us to follow its mysteries! Love the opening line. Well done! One of your best. December blessings.

Dear Paige, This is wonderfully atmospheric and a little lonely, in the best way. It feels like you found a pocket of stillness in the middle of all the noise, where things slow down just enough for a bit of reflection. Keep that keen eye! Autumn Blessings, Dear Paige, Daniel
