.
Blanket of mist
Enveloping bush and tree
Shimmering, drifting
Gently in a breeze

Snow capped peak
Stabbing the sky
Glistening, ghostly
Waning moon risen high

Cloudless canopy
Heavenly twinkles
Subdued, surreal
Dewdrop sprinkles

Lone whistle
Shattered silence
Shrill, piercing
Hinting of malevalence

Muffled by the forest
Indiscernible thunder
Ominous, nearing
Ground starts to shudder

Clanging bell
Crisp in the air
Echoing, sounding
Cacophonous tear

Ethereal shadows
Dancing high
Animated, illuminated
Bright light draws nigh

Steam spewing forth
Smoke belching high
Grumbling, straining
Burdened by its size

On wheels of steel
Fiery sparks in its belly
Onward, upward
Rolling forward inexorably

Long is the beast
Minutes in passing
Dominant, unstoppable
Determined progression

Black behemoth passed
Sliding into murk
Fading, vanishing
Returning to the dark

Moments slip by
Solitude reborn
Serenity, calm
Peace once more
