Misty moonlit meanderings
It's warmer tonight
almost uncomfortably so
sticky with misty fog
slowly snaking it's way closer
[I hope it carries with it
secrets from the river]
The night sky is barely visable
peeking beyond the treetops
random glimpses
slip in and out
whenever the dense
swaying branches allow
I listen
attentively - so very close
past the usually buzzing
of the night's steady chirping
straining to hear everything
just losing myself
seeing a spiderweb glisten via streetlight
from a corner awning
has me enchanted and pensive
hushed, contemplating the now
this evening and the atmosphere
letting the weight of it
surround and penetrate
melding with the creatures around me
making my own noises
casting shadows
trying to fully reconcile
the presence of time's hands
as it cradles and guides me
ever so gently
into the middle... of it all.

Brava, dear Lady Blue!
This is a feast for the senses. We do live in a world replete with natural beauty. I am glad that take the time to take it all in and write your observations. Hmmmm...mysteries of the river, do tell...😍

Re: Re. Misty moonlit meanderings
I'm just across the street from the Hillsborough River....It's not swimmable but I often watch the college rowing teams practice row... they launch from the community park that's just around the corner. The river also connects to our downtown area, too so I can take a water taxi /shuttle there, to go see the Lightning play (if I had tickets!... lol) if I wanted to not hassle with driving and parking downtown.

So, when we have such extreme temp changes, sometimes there's fog that rolls off of it.... I always think she's spilling her secrets... lol
Thanks so much leaving your thoughts with me, BB. I adore seeing you, dear poet 🙏🏻 You made my birthday brighter! 🔆

Ouch! (to the late 40's bit). Lovely poem. You're taking it all in again, observing. It reads almost like a poem about nothing at all, such is its simplicity. What I mean is, it's quite a straightforward poem by your standards, yet difficult somehow too, keeping it interesting & exciting, which you do with ease here. I say that because you're not trying to be too clever with words, not that there's anything wrong with that, after all, it's an art I really do appreciate yet cannot quite live up to, lol.

Re: Re. Misty moonlit meanderings
There are times when writing flows like turning on a faucet and other times, it's fighting tooth and nail for every word that appears on the page. Luckily, this one flowed easier than most and perhaps that might have a lot to do with the feeling of truth and simplicity (I take zero offense there, I wholeheartedly agree!) I appreciate your noticing and feeling that takeaway, from reading. To me, that really means it was conveyed as I had hoped and wanted it to. I deeply appreciate your thoughtful comments and the generous list add.
It's a pleasure to share in your thoughts!

I adore the introspection, and the manner in which you place
yourself into this piece, which makes a temple of nature and the things
which defy description, or even go completely unnoticed...
The magical things. Love the spider web. :))). And the the allusion to the river. (cryptic cool)
Twas elegant and graceful, the manner in which you roamed the poem.
I feel like you have many rare qualities, as a person, with a spirit that defies
quantification, and that will always enrich your life, and keep you young and healthy.
You have a courage and boldness that inspires,
a heart that edifies, a mind that illuminates, and a soul that permeates all... In beauty.
Don't worry about anything ever.
Only beauty can ever be around you,
always in all ways.
:)))
Happy Birthday S.

Re: Re. Misty moonlit meanderings
The Hillsborough River is just around the corner from me and when we have extreme temp changes from morning to night, there's usually a bit of foggy mist that rolls off the water ... I wrote earlier that's when it feels like the river is spilling her secrets... lol...
I thank you for following my 'roaming' meander type of writing on this one... ;)
I aspire to be in the moment and as healthy as my inherited DNA allows... 😂 😂.... I struggle with a few BS ailments that my 'generic trashcan' payoff of a crap shoot existence, leave me battling (aka - conditions that are inherited) as I get older.
So, somedays I do feel ancient.
You stopped me in my tracks with such kindness in your sentiments, P.
I'm beyond grateful.... I am transformed by them. Sincerely... I absorb that honest goodness and allow it to help clarify my foggiest of doubt, when needed.... What a freaking stellar gift, you've given... All my warmest and profound thanks, my dear.

Thanks for the Bday wishes, W. The day itself reminding me to ride out this last year of my 40's with gusto... that's for sure. I can't believe how fast time goes by!!
I love that found that small moment of awareness that I kinda felt, too... that's pretty cool it, imo!
Glad you enjoyed reading and as always, for your visits all around!
