Featured Poem: Mist on the Water

By Donna Puglisi

Steaming the cold lake’s shallow waters,

Sheets of mist creep slowly over the glassy surface.

Gray fingers stroke her face, barely touching, with a canvas of ghostly white.

 

Not a ripple emerges under the gauzy blanket, as if sleeping in a trance.

 

Subtle is the breath of a fresh morning breeze,

Dancing lightly on the lake,

Delicate ballerina skimming the water.

 

Frost hugs the grass, remnants of night’s cold breath linger,

as morning’s sun smiles and melts her to dewy tears.

      Thank you, Andrea! I wake up very early in the morning and just listen. It’s amazing what that does to calm the spirit! It is mental yoga!

      Thank you, Dorothy! Life gets to hectic, crazy, noisy. It’s a spiritual awakening when you can just look and listen to Mother Nature! She’s amazing!

      Thank you, Anne! Sometimes it’s good to be one with nature, away from our hectic lives, just being in that pure magical moment.

      Thank you, Tricia! I am so happy to touch someone’s imagination and relate to the beauty that surrounds us…if we only take the time to look and listen!
