Grief

White mist enveloped the earth.
Guide lights flickered out.
White mist enveloped the earth.
Landmarks faded from sight.
White mist enveloped the earth.
No mirror reflected my face.
White mist enveloped the earth.
You died and left me.

    Victoria,

    It feels very like the end......
    Powerful words.

    Brilliant poem of a horrific time in your life. I like the power of the repetition.

    So sad, Victoria. The ending had me in tears.

    I love the way you make me see things in a different light (or through the white mist).
