Specters On The Waters
Specters on the waters walk in foggy mist.
Apparition-plotters
appear to preexist.
Liminal awareness is barely understood.
Though deemed an unfairness
it often proffers good.
Preconscious foreboding states an illation.
Judicious decoding
suspends animation.
Foreign premonitions softly tap the door.
Gentle admonitions
escort to a safe shore.
The sensory threshold is portal to prudence.
The cryptically foretold
is not coincidence.
Minister to inklings. Attend to every hunch.
Decipher the sprinklings
for the final crunch.
