THE MIST TRILOGY

DAY I. A VISUAL BLANKET MIST

Two stars still shine

In the predawn blue and gray.

To the east, beyond the ridge,

Warmer colors will have their say.

The valley below lays in slumber,

Blanketed by a morning mist today.

The world turns

And presents a sustaining sun.

Earth’s longitudes will awaken

Slowly, one by one.

Quiet and quite content,

The covered valley keeps its sleep.

The first light strains,

Then touches a distant peak.

A light line races slowly east,

Its warmth each soul doth seek.

The morning mist

lightens.

Awaken blanket mist.

Accept the new day’s glow.

Stretch and lift your spirit

From the sleepy valley below.

It’s time to see

Nature’s awesome beauty.

Epilogue

Slowly but surely,

The blanket mist slips over the ridge

Into the next valley beyond.

The West, in its restless sleep,

Has rolled over, pulling for more cover

To hold the last bit of twilight.

DAY II. SIN’S BLANKET MIST

Two stars shine

In the predawn blue and gray.

To the east, beyond the ridge,

Warmer colors have their say.

The valley below is in restless slumber,

Blanketed by a mist today.

The world turns

And presents a raging sun.

Unfurled flags awaken

Gathering us, one by one.

Our senses fogged

In the clouds of egotism and evil.

The first light strains,

To touch a distant peak.

The raging light spreads.

Its fervor each of us will seek.

The mist’s embrace

Is sure and strong.

Blanket mist, awaken.

Receive the new day’s glow.

Stretch and flow your spirit

On this restless valley below.

It’s time to reveal

Sin’s awesome power.

Epilogue

Slowly but surely,

The blanket mist slips over the ridge

Into the next valley beyond.

The West, in its restless sleep

Has rolled over, pulling for more cover

In preparation for the raging day.

DAY III. LOVE’S BLANKET MIST

Two stars still shine

In the predawn blue and gray.

To the east, beyond the ridge,

Warmer colors will have their say.

The valley below lays in slumber,

Blanketed by a morning mist today.

The world turns

To reveal an energizing sun.

Inner souls awaken

As people gather, one by one.

Each covets

With the spirit of the mist.

The first light strains,

To touch the highest peak.

A light line spreads outward

To embrace all those who seek.

The morning mist

and its encircling right.

Awaken blanket mist,

Accept the new day’s glow.

Stretch and lift the spirits

In this sleepy valley below.

It’s time people feel and share

Love’s purity.

Epilogue

Slowly but surely,

The blanket mist slips over the ridge

Into the next valley beyond.

The West, in its restless sleep,

Has rolled over, pulling the cover

For Humanity.
