Sparkle in the Mist


By Jenn Somers

A light beyond the water
A sparkle in the mist
A jewel bladed dagger
Clenched in his fist
The boat drifts closer
Towards the distant shore
An island of myth
A place of ancient lore
Though fear hath no place here
His dagger is held high
For eerie sounds of darkness
Creep out into the nigh'
A shiver ripples down his back
His heart pounds through his chest
The island looms towards him
Marking the beginning of his quest
He has no clue what led him here
Some strong unnatural force
Some how he believes the island itself
Is its mysterious source
So here he stands
A dagger in his fist
Drawn towards the light
The sparkle in the mist
