Mistress Mist
Mistress Mist may harbour sadness or great joy
Keeps inside dreams and surprises while smiling invisibly.
Whispering with mystery and whimsical lips from beneath her swirling silver shroud.
Listen!
She reflects or distorts life, pervades the course of events. Your choice!
Soothes and rounds the forms, creates a woman or a ghost
Makes alive, kills or reduces pain, all with silky indifference. Detached!
WithIn her embrace is to lose or find. She is the daughter of fire earth air and water.
Uninvited, unexpected, swiftly to smother but never to suffocate, graciously leaving without ceremony.
She who touches and cannot be touched, dancing with ancestral echoes. Sharing!
Mist clutches to transform, inspire or deny you. Awaken!
