How the idea of a photograph came to mind was the fog rolling over an
unplowed field with dead corn husks low to the ground. The lighting had a
rusty hue and it reminded me an old photograph.
This rolling fog had kind of a ripple to it like heat waves drifting lazily on delicate
butterfly wings.

Ghostly Fog

Lazily drifting across open fields turning land into ripples of doctored photographs.
This phenomenon a blinding fog creeping across chilled waters of panoramic midnight.
Swirling, kissing the ground, masking intrigue hidden in the masquerading darkness
of nature’s mysteries.
Wrapping around bushes and tree’s with coiling moves.
Like a candle melting, clinging, flowing, and rebuilding.
These photographic images of things unseen
have the qualities of an undying ghostly mist of past yesterdays.
This sheer ghost like mist travels into darkened places that no one can see
or
it encircles you with the cool refreshing translucent dampness
of the midnight sun.
This mist
climbs up your body with damp icy fingers so you cannot see what
is hiding in the distance or what mysteries hide before you ready
to touch and inflame your vivid imaginative mind.
As the sun burns this ghostly mist it disappears
into the corners of the universe and hides in the recesses of your mind.
Until!
One quiet night, when all is calm,
you look up and see the return
of
the swirling ghostly mist of midnight.

Love Bon-Bon
