The Mist
Is it cloud that falls so gently
When mountain top is kissed
Or does it rise from the valley
This cold and haunting mist
~~~
All pale shapes and grey shadows now
Sight rendered all but blind
Like whiskey drunk too fast somehow
A fogging of the mind
~~~
Unknown fears in every crease
The fears of never knowing
My will cannot command you cease
And keep my fears from growing
~~~
Being trapped in ghostly blanket
Suffered your icy chill
Yea sun would come I’d thank it
And temper failing will
~~~
If but scant rays could break rampart
And glimmer added hue
A warmth to spirit and to heart
Gained strength to see this through
~~~
Should graced light fail and hope abide
My journey will not stop
All my fears must be put aside
If goal the mountain top
~~~
So, taunt me now you evil mist
You cruel, sadistic haze
Battle you, my will exist
Earning my brighter days
~~~
Set upon me your eerie wrath
You may have chosen me
But I the chooser of my path
Will choose my destiny
