Once I saw while alone in a canoe in fog-bound barely moving Wekiva River here in Central Florida just miles from home, came a great whooshing just past vision and the mists parted and individual fog-droplets fell away to reveal a Great Blue Heron launching itself from its knee-deep stance in the Scenic And Wild River from which as a youth I could dip in a hand for a half-cup of sweet drink, and then saw the most astounding thing: whirls and whorls off the orchestrated wingtips of this majestic silent bird, like the twin horizontal vertices one sees from a helicopter at takeoff in a misty mountain valley, just mesmerizing. The long-stroke wingwork moved foggy mists in such a manner that my paddle slipped from its thwarts and joined up in tandem with my craft all without my notice. I thought for a moment: I am glad I did not have my careras ready for this – that would have taken too much attention from this God-given moment. Thus your poem flushed out so many visual, aural and mental images, dear lady. Thank you so much.
Beautiful.

Well, it is an imaginative sort of situation, where mist can appear to roll and warp around a mountain. I hope that makes sense.
