Glow In The fog and Mist

It's of light, dark, and mist

The spectral glow of a lantern bobbing
As if tossed upon a stormy sea
Appearing...then fading anon,  absorbed
In foggy essence, to fade again so feebly

Once more, ere sinking in finality
Into the quicksand of mist
Mere glow of candle, so dear to see
Seen now…then not,…with capricious twist

The spectral light, drifts through the night
As a ghost through fog and mist
Through ribs of rain, the tremulous light
Chills the brain, befogs the sight

Dimly lit, by lanterns in the mist
Dark clouds upon the soul this night
Fog is the dark abode of lost souls
Who wander without rest with lantern high

The mist, the breath, of hollow death
The fog, the food , on which to subist
Tis best my friend,  not to be, nor ne’r to see….
The glow in the fog and mist

It's quite nice...the light of the soul is sometimes spectral lantern light...seen and not seen through the mist.

Well...I'm not sure what to say...
