When Fogs Collide |

When Fogs Collide In a forest bent by breeze, blowing branches over leaves, came a thump, thump, thump in the midnight. - All gone was the starlight, - even absent was the moonlight, but a white fog glowed silent, slipping thru the trees. I stopped and froze from smiling ‘cause my fear did find beguiling how this eerie froth of floating grace, ejecta from some spectral place, could turn and twist in one ‘bout face and send my fears colliding. It pulsed a light and started thumping, made me feel like jumping, jumping somewhere else I could have been so I could jump right from my skin and sprout some wings to ride the wind and feel my fears subsiding. Closer came it creeping, creeping but to me it seemed as leaping like it had some ultra aim than scaring me out wits and brains, which now in shock I must proclaim it passed me thumping, thumping. I turned to catch one moment’s bliss. A second fog did merge. They kissed. Tears I cried yet not for me but for two fogs heard jubilantly who found in a universe of sky and mist each another, on a forest plain like this. And I felt prized over all above to have witnessed the thumpings of fogs in Love and realize that Love is the searching pulse of a heart that’s thumping for someone else and “just” when you think life is over or blue, you’ll turn and a thumping will be looking at you !

Ah, awesome is the word! Each life can be like a fog, for we see, but not completely, but the depth of this sweeping poem is that the meeting of the two, brings a fulfillment that words must strain to describe. I have enjoyed immensely, this first reading of your artistry! Best wishes -- Art |

Jeff – I wrote it like I felt it. Maybe there was a 60’s song lyric playing in my head somewhere. But if it put a Splendid in your day, I wouldn’t ask for any more as its author than for the music to play on. Thanks Jeff. Namyh |

Very well crafted, I love the word "ejecta" after I looked it up its meaning. |

passingS – To hear the thump now and again is to be considered lucky compared to those who may not hear it at all. Thanks for your enjoyment and for stopping in. Namyh |
