FOGGY MORNING

FOGGY MORNING

Fog gives an ethereal shield
to what, I know, is there.
It outlines trees in the foreground
as if the background is bare.

Fog creates the sound of silence,
very good for my soul.
It deadens noise I sometimes hear
from commuters on the roll.

Those driving to work>
will not like the fog,
it adds time to their drive
as each minute they log.

It makes them slow down.
Is that really so bad?
When the fog burns off
I’ll be a bit sad.

The sun has risen
but not broken through.
There’s enough light to give glow
to a thick morning dew.

I feel very blessed
when I take time to see
all beauty of nature
which calls out to me.
