muchness in photos and poems

formless


peering into the edge of the fog
images emerge disembodied
leaves on limbs without trunks
movement of distant forms
the sound of footsteps on gravel
like shadow figures from a dream
floating with ease
from the formless

a brief moment of recognition
then silently they retreat
into the void
leaving behind a vague sense
of when and where

merciful fog still
holding at bay
the why
granting solemnity and space
for clarity to waken into form
