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
off to where 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 other, on a forest plain like this.

And I felt prized over all above
to have witnessed the thumpings of fogs in Love
and realized 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!

Wow, dear Namyh, this is a wonderful song of love, even if you had to conquer fear and isn't that our hardest job?

Absolutely enticing! It also reminded me of an adventure I had lived when I was twenty and fearless, alone in the mountains and fog descended, quickly surrounding me and making it impossible to move ... for quite some time. Well now I can imagine that that white fog sought me out to embrace me, not to frighten me!

You always write great poetry that brings smiles.

Love,
Margherita

I am mastered totally by Love."

Margherita - Your fog seemingly didn't come to frighten but to embrace as much as my poetic one seemed to do. So very happy you liked this and it's good to hear from the one and only Margherita. Puts a big smile in my day. Namyh
