An Ethereal Moment

A common visual experience observed by those early risers who trek afield.

Mists of the morning,

rising from the meadow lands,

ghosts of the dew.

Wonderful Haiku Watercress. Visually stunning and one I have witnessed so many times while boating on the Thames. I love watching those drifting veils and the early morning dew left in their wake. Amazing how quickly the sun can burn it away when it rises.

Thank you Chris. That means a lot to me.
Your description of just how quickly the sun evaporates these lovely vapors parallels the thoughts of a verse from the book of James, "..but a vapor, here then gone."

[Chris Shaw]

I haven't come across that verse from the book of James until now, you kindly introducing it to me.
'but a vapor here then gone'. It could equally apply to the human life span in the overall picture.

I’m am not often an early risers. Night owl here but I have experienced this visual wonder out on country roads a few times. It is a magical scene to behold.

Thank you Poetic Beauty. They are poetic in their beauty as well.

I would definitely have to agree with that

I really enjoyed the visualization of the image this poem conjures. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Carlos. They were old friends in my youth when I walked through the morning dew.

"Ghosts of the dew." A splendid metaphor I have never before heard. It gives a poetic definition to a real phenomenon.

Thank you John the Baptist. I appreciate it!
