THE MIST OF TIME

Hugging the bark like a fine silk glove
The mist encircled the trees
Coating each branch with the careless moisture
Left over at the breaking of dawn

What beauty beholds the thirsty eyes
At this causal offering of nature's finest moment
Blurred and fuzzy like an old photograph
Whispering the essence of a time gone by

Why can't life be as simple as this
A beautiful second in a neverending world
Awash with memories and bathed in remembrances
Like the trees standing in the mist

One week after the photo or picture is posted I will pick one offering to put beneath the image. This is a way of celebrating exceptional creativity. Any and all posts are available for your creative mind to make an offering at any time (even ones where a writing has been placed on the front page like this one). If you are new here and want to offer to every image here, feel free. We are writers, WRITE! If this is your exceptional writing posted here on the Front Page Pictures, Poetry & Prose invites you to include the Exceptional Writing Award Button on your blog. Visit the Exceptional Writing Award post for the details and the button to download.

misty sun on high
grey trees awaiting leafing
all is potential

Is this the beginning of time? Is this post apocalyptic?

It worked! My time machine worked and I am still alive, thank God. Let's hope that the quantum physics led me to my preferred destination. It is old growth forest...good sign. No jet trails, no mechanical sounds like a distant interstate. Chateau Chillon should be just on the edge of the lake. 17th century Switzerland would have looked exactly like this...I think I have successfully maneuvered myself though the foam of quantum physics.

Let my journal record that on his date...May 22nd, 2009...the first successful transposition of a human to a preset time designation occurred.

Now with a three day window for exploration before returning to CERN, let the adventure begin!

Bobbi, I enjoyed that much!

GRIEF

Hands claps together
So cold
White
Clammy

The crunch of leaves
Beneath covered feet
Moving
Through the trees

Thick mist
Faded trees
Faded
Colorless

The gray fades
to white or black
Around the cold branches
Trees in the mist

Crunching leaves
White cold hands
Clasping, wringing
Sniffing, sobbing

Silence
