Fire and Fog

Gray grace of tendrils falling in
tender embrace all around

               The long lost wedding veil of some poor girl
               the one she never wore

Slivers of flame seek to burn it away
leave not even its memory behind.

               Wrapped tightly around the limbs
                of the dark blue world

Fire fails grasping at the veil as it slips
through its fingers like water through cupped hands

               Golden threads mix through the
               sad silver of the veil

Breathing life and joy into the desolate
folds once more
