The Piercing Fog

The Piercing Fog

A Poem by The Night Poet

Come along you piercing fog, come along
I’ve been waiting for you to come upon me
Your icy chilling crystals tingle sharply upon my face
You grow near and drive deep piercing my heart
Wanting to break me down till I crumble

My horn's voice speaks from deep within my searching soul
Haunted by the echoes of the fallen sailors
Calling again and again desperately lost in time
Yet I ne'er forgotten
Radiant and bright I have been  
Circling the galaxies for time’s lost loves
Pray they may see me tonight and turn their course
Guided towards my heart

Far in the distance of space unknown
A safe harbor has long been evaded by your darkness,
With promises made ne'er kept
Evaded by bleak storms, winds, and crashing waves
All commanded by you, the piercing fog

One valiant soul left on the bow of lover’s dreams
Lays still, wet, weak but not abandoned
Although by you, I cannot see
I will sing aloud over the sea
Where his voyage to his destiny will be fulfilled
Driven by centuries of loneliness and heartache,
He will not this time be denied

You have a wonderful gift... Truly

My horn's voice speaks from deep within my searching soul
Haunted by the echoes of the fallen sailors
Calling again and again desperately lost in time
Yet I ne'er forgotten
Radiant and bright I have been
Circling the galaxies for time’s lost loves
Pray they may see me tonight and turn their course
Guided towards my heart

My favorite verse
Every Verse a dream!
