Subject: Maiden Of The Mist

Maiden Of The Mist

Dense fog surrounds my boat
Direction has been lost
No stars to guide me home
Fear my mind accosts
No way now to see the reefs
Reaching up from hell
Ready to split apart my ship
Bid me quick farewell
I smell my fear in salty air
Acrid it does burn
Scalding deep my sinuses
Making stomach churn
Lost in prayer I feel boat’s turn
Jagged rocks are missed
Then spotting at the front of ship
A shadow in the mist
Her hair is long and flowing
Dress is sheerest white
Hand grasps tight my tow ring
Rescuing my plight
She walks upon the water’s crest
Gown swirling in the breeze
Steering me safely around the rocks
Towards safer seas
Through the fog I make out land
Safety has been gained
She blows a kiss, waves goodbye
To leave this unexplained
I have heard this legend once
An angel of the sea
Appearing in the densest fog
In answer to a plea
I reach out quick to take her hand
Return with empty fist
Her substance was of densest fog
This Maiden of the Mist
She looks at me with gentle smile
Waves a brief farewell
Then is rapidly drawn out to sea
Cradled in its swell
