When Fogs Collide

When Fogs Collide

In a forest bent by breeze,
blowing branches over leaves,
came a thump, thump, thump in the midnight.
All gone was the starlight,
even absent was the moonlight
but a white fog glowed silent, slipping thru the trees.

I stopped and froze from smiling
‘cause my fear did find beguiling
how this eerie froth of floating grace,
ejecta from some spectral place,
could turn and twist in one ‘bout face
and send my fears colliding.

It pulsed a light and started thumping,
made me feel like jumping, jumping
off to where I could have been
so I could jump right from my skin
and sprout some wings to ride the wind
and feel my fears subsiding.

Closer came it creeping, creeping
but to me it seemed as leaping
like it had some ultra aim
than scaring me out wits and brains
which now in shock I must proclaim
it passed me thumping, thumping.

I turned to catch one moment’s bliss.
A second fog did merge. They kissed.
Tears I cried yet not for me
but for two fogs heard jubilantly
who found in a universe of sky and mist
each another on a forest plain like this

and I felt prized over all above
to have witnessed the thumpings of fogs in Love
and realized that Love is the searching pulse
of a heart that’s thumping for someone else.
And “just” when you think life is over or blue,
you’ll turn and a thumping will be looking at you !

This is a pretty good and well thought out poem.
I absolutely loved the first two stanzas they really brought me into the poem and I was completely interested in what was going to happen next. The only thing I can think to suggest is about the last stanza. It was a little disappointing and I think the last line could use a little bit of work. Other than that I really enjoyed it(:
