By the Seaside

~*~

The fog lies low on summer mornings
painting the seaside in water colors.
It gets under my skin and cools my senses
clouding my vision to tears.

It rolls in slow motion
hovering at the edge of a mountain top
alluding to the possibilities
of perfect storms and restless lovers.

Until the sun breaks
streaking across the sand
rolling backwards out to sea
like prisms stung along the edge of the horizon.

The fog lies still and serene
in a comfortable wave
soft and smooth
shading the darkness from my eyes.

The salt mist leaves a kiss
on the tip of my lips
drawn
to your silhouette in the sky.

Fog never looked so good. Love your sea views.

(second stanza, maybe alluding instead of eluding?)

Good morning, Lovely Lori! I'm a fog-lover from way back. As a little girl I lived in New Brunswick on Canada's east coast.

I have always found fog to be calming ~ and mysterious. It's also great for one's complexion!

A lovely write ~ and a soothing read! Thank you!

Wherever this is, I would sure love to live there.

I can feel your seabreezes and the gentle mist spreading from your west to my east coast as our oceans connect.
So nice to splash along in your sea thoughts
