The Mist

Goddess of the Mist

A mist like none other came rambling in
on the warm, jagged breakers of the Gulf
giant rollers; great, undulating waves
toppling all over one another

This was no fog
no, those were felt many times
lingering on mountain passes
in the valleys and caves
No, this was something else altogether
alive, thick and enveloping

From the top floor of a white stucco building
trimmed in baby blue
the view was like none other
When the feeling hit with a suddenness
it overwhelmed
suffocated, almost

Collapsing onto the bed, just as the telephone rang
the sound muffled
answering with, “I’m just so tired…”

“I bet you are,” the caller responds knowingly, with a smile.

      Obviously, because of your name, I had to read this one first.

      A wonderfully written and a beautifully immersive poem here, and the lines of dialogue at the end; made me smile.

      Brilliant work, have a good one and please do take care.
