Foggy Edge

Fog alert

Sometimes, I look over the edge

Into what lies below

I am blinded and obscured

To its view

Due to the heavy fog

Lying between us like a curtain

Blocking and distorting the possibilities

That flee from my view

Noting dark shapes

Swirling lights

Muted colors

I am confused

I don’t know what I am trying to see

What is it that I am looking for?

As if linked to my thoughts

The fog lifts and clears

I close my eyes

I am afraid of what I may find

Lying beneath the now distinct fog

Lungs inhale chilled air

Peeking

I peer over

To look at the upcoming events can create fear. I like the feel and the emotion of the words. Life is a long journey. We will make many mistakes before finding peace and a good life. I like the ending. We will change directions many times before we will decide what we want. A excellent poem.

Nice piece of writing…
It is a very different style of writing….
I rarely meet with such creations….
A nice blend of your thoughts and the imagery you chose to express it….
well done..

Man, this is a mysterious poem. I really wanted to get to the end to see what you were looking at but you didn't say!! Frustrating.... which is good since it shows how effective and well written this poem is.

CHILLED AIR!!!!!!

I love the feeling I get from reading this, mainly because of the descriptions. It makes you feel anxious, and the ending just definitely brings it to a perfect close because it adds to the uncertainty of the whole poem.

Great, great poem.
