Fog

The fog rolls in
Clouding the day
Blocking the sun
The fog rolls in
Until you can't see 
Anything at all
The fog rolls in
And blinds your eyes
Keeps you from the sun
Keeps you from seeing
What is right in front of your face
Keeps from seeing
Anything
And everyone
And everything 
Around you 
Keeps you from seeing
The true beauty
The truth
Keeps you in a haze
Clouded from the truth
That is right 
In front of
Your face

There are times when it is so very difficult to see through the fog, but when we do we see the truth!
Another inspiring write my friend!

Nice work. I like the repetitiveness of it, because in a way fog itself is rather repetitive. It's just a thick cloud, ever-present, blocking everything from view.

Yep. And once it clears everything becomes brighter again.

I was never partial to fog and I'm still not... :/

This was great, though. It kind of had a mystical feel to it, in my opinion. :)

I am glad you could sense the deeper message.

It is true, fog can have this effect when it descends from the heavens. Although, I feel an undercurrent in this poem that goes beyond the physical fog. In a way, I think this poem could be addressing how things get in our way and cause a fog in our life. As you point out, that fog "Keeps you in a haze/Clouded from the truth." And then we can't advance our perception of the world and find deeper enlightenment. I like what you are doing here.

I am glad you could get the deeper meaning in my poem. :)

So am I. You have a really good way of doing that :-)
