Lost
An arm lifts a lantern above the fog.


Lost

Far off in the darkened marsh,
where only the tallest rushes
rise as ghosts from the blanket fog,
an arm lifts a lantern, aglow
and shrouded in the turbid air,
its light bound in swathes of mist;
powerless to rend the gloom,
it paints the darkness red.


Line count: 8
