Knit one, purl two

What on earth was I to do?

It’s supposed be a scalloped edge

Looks more like someone’s garden hedge

I must have dropped a stitch somewhere

I could go back, and count, and swear

I’ll never knit another sweater

But silly me, I know much better

How these needles play their tricks on me

So I’m off to find a quilting bee

The clouded skies had darkened my view

I knew where to look, but couldn’t find you

The mist in the air gave a strange, eerie feel

I wondered exactly what it tried to conceal

Into the black, where I could no longer see

I wondered aloud, what has become of thee?

Then I caught a glimpse, from the sky above

My heart skipped a beat, I had found my true love

The one, who makes the evening, so perfectly right

When his light casts upon me, in the ebony night

Perchance, we could meet, once again, on a lark

This heavenly orb, and me, in the dark

Enshrined ~ #poetry of the #spirits

Some say they have seen her

In the mist, by the lake

No reflection in the water

Just the trees, when they quake

Her presence is known

Though she’s never been found

Not even her footsteps

Never making a sound

But when the cold filters in

And the sun cannot shine

It is then that they claim

With the fog, she’s enshrined
