Struggling through the FogA Poem by Pasquale Lorina
It covers the sky with a heavy cloth A blanket of gray and mist, I struggle to see the road The great Fog consumes the air and with all its might it strangles the morning sun
Just as a pall placed on a casket it covers me into the dark night What happen to the sky above? The stars that twinkle ,and the moon that shines? It has been pilfered like that of a pickpocket in the midst of a crowd
The feeling of tight enclosure makes its entrance into my spirit Humidity and dampness drapes me like a cape over a ruffled suit Trapped I am, like a caged lion amid the snares of evil around me
Where am I, where I am going? I fear I will lose myself to this shield of darkness I fear that it will overtake my being and rob me of my sanity
Where shall I go to deceive this fog? Where shall I hide so that it doesn’t consume me? I feel the scourge of fear that the fog has brought down on me I am a prisoner of its drops of dew, someone release me before the hour turns Lift this fog from my shoulders I pray, bring me solace in any way
I fight the fog with all my might I scrape and claw to get out of its ominous way Suddenly the end is near, it raptures me in its claw I breath my last
The light is shining now, no darkness does invade I am in the light, a light so bright that it blinds me Gone is the anxiety of the Fog, Gone is my pain © 2016 Pasquale Lorina |
