Misty You

By John I. Blair 

 

I dream
Of shining houses,
Shape-changing rooms,
Dauntless heroes, daring deeds.

I dream
Of toiling miles
Down tedious streets
Through dreary places.

And everywhere
You, misty you,
Also are contained
In my dreams.

You’ve been gone
For years;
Yet your face remains,
Lingering in my brain.

I’ll never touch again
The object of my dreaming,
But thanks to misty you
The fact no longer pains.
