eerie in the half light
light reflecting off snow
bright shadow
shadowy light
the mist rolls
settles
fills the streets
making electic lights
look like gas lights
half glow
like a horror movie
but peaceful
calm
quiet
the sound deadened
by the snow below
and the mist above
absorbing
swallowing
taking in the sound
consuming it
and leaving only the silence
as i walk beneath
that black sky
crystal clear
full of stars
at contrast with the
mist
and the light
and the silence
in this wonderland
this place between
this liminal place
of mist and snow and silence
the eerie glow
of shrouded
hidden
light
below a canopy
of clarity
