Misty Morning Walk


A misty haze filled the sky


a mist made of smoke
humidity 
and sprinkled rain


the sun rose from the Pacific
as usual 
eager to pierce through the gauzy veil

Walking today 
down the wide swathe of foreshore


the high tide nibbling our ankles


to the Headland of the National Park
where dogs are given free reign


to run and scamper chase and swim
without restraint


the persistent sun finds a portal


a misty sky is pierced


however temporarily
and the world below remains


enshrouded...

  1. That may have been an energetic interlude for the dogs, but it was a calming stroll for me!

  2. I think mist always adds such mystery and nuance - we rarely get it at altitude. (Of course, we aren't anywhere near a huge body of water, either.) Those pups will need a good spraying off at home! Keep cool, Delwyn!

  5. Hi, Delwyn! Dogs need a way to cool them off in summer. I’d like to see them swimming wild. Strangely, the less colorful, the more powerful the sky looks. The view of the metallic looking sea and the light radiating through the cleft in the cloud is awesome. Here in Nara, misty morning promises sunny day in the daytime.
