In the mist

autumn morning drive
past ponds with gray whorls of mist
revealing secrets

like the blue heron
materializing there
at the edge of hope

with thanks to the herons I see in several misty ponds as I drive to work – they lift my spirits immeasurably

  1. Wow! I love this! I wholeheartedly agree! Every word of your poem so important. Great poem for your pocket or purse. Thank you for this gift. Can I add this amazing poem to my notebook to use as a mentor and I would copyright your name with it. Your poem would make a great gift to your friends, so they put it in their pocket or purse.
