Whispers in the Fog

In the silent heart of night, I sneaked

Through a murmuring forest half asleep,

Where whispers falter like short breaths,

Where paper leaves refuse to drift.

 

The air was thick with caressing fog,

Untold secrets wrapped in a quiet hug,

While somewhere near a static waterfall

A transparent sketch flickered gold.

 

Phantom forces brushed the edges,

Thoughts from Pandora's box I couldn't claim;

Temperamental tarot cards within me

Kept reading fate without a name.

 

Was it magic, myth, or memory...

A truth concealed, a crafted illusion?

Or simply part of what we’ve always been:

The human need to define confusion.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A poem about mystery, perception, and the urge to explain the unexplainable.
