some things in life seem to stay the same
in my own it was the mist
from the very day that I was born
to the first time I was kissed

the rocky shores of Mineral Point
were close enough to hear
the crash of waves and rolling surf
and the mist I'd come to fear

but as I grew the more I learned
of why we all exist
then soon I came to love the sea
and the mysterious morning mist

so I stayed on and raised my own
spent years in wedded bliss
now dawn is here and they're calling me
the angels of the mist

One ladle serves the soup that feeds the mouths of the many.

I liked this one Boomer. The mist by any other name is . . . your early childhood fears. We learn to deal with them or they consume us. You seem to have dealt with yours and that is a good thing.

I enjoyed the visuals and rhythmic flow of your words. The choice of a mystic mist was something I could envision and did see. The poet’s pen…you gotta love it, Thanks for sharing Boomer. Namyh

From birth to death and all in between, angels to watch over us. Such pleasant thoughts in your poetry.
