Not Quite

Not Quite

A mist, hanging in the air
A halo ‘round a streetlamp
A sidewalk, not quite straight
And not yet crooked

Night is now or soon
A dome of clouds, far off
A creeping feeling beckons
Waiting for you to be alone

No creak of branching boughs
No rush of windy voices
No sound emerging from the
Not-quite dark nor light

Not to be deterred
Nor turned away
You continue into
The all-consuming night

An enchanting, well written poetic stroll on a dark and mist-filled night, Anna's Pen.
I especially enjoyed the following;

Night is now or soon
A dome of clouds, far off
A creeping feeling beckons
Waiting for you to be alone

It is one thing to be alone.
But it is another thing entirely to be lonely.
Beautifully done,

~Dean Kuch
