A Foggy Morning

On waking up to a heavy fog.

A Foggy Morning

 

By Elton Camp

 

The dense fog presses all around

From the tree tops to the ground

 

For most fogs, I don’t really care

Patches like smoke here and there

 

This one envelopes familiar things

And a feeling of mystery brings

 

The colors of objects I cannot say

They are shades of black and gray

 

There is a strange stillness in the air

It’s as if nobody else is out there

 

I go outside so that the mist I feel

To a world that seems almost unreal

 

All too soon, the fog will clear away

And bring the brightness of a new day
