The mist from the harbor
is the clouds seeping through
the mountaintops

I strain to hang onto you
in ghostly white iridescence,
anonymous lights flickering off
hilltops and highways

we're twice shadowed moons

from the craving of flowers
to the reveling in bucolic emptiness

the sobering truth
is in the coming and going

once colorful caterpillars
in a womb of the butterfly

we've become corks, caught on
a tidlewave's sea, perhaps to
unite again, perhaps not

but I echo the state
of December's stray sycamore
in remiss of her leaves and

the glory of the iced over pond

regardless

You have capsuled the ever evolving humans searching for a way to cope in a world which seems to always want to damage us. Emotion. Love.Hate. Indifference. All of the above and then are some of the transitional situation we find ourselves in. Your last two lines is proof we can withstand anything.

This certainly deserves another round, as it is wonderfully written.
