In a Foggy Forest
The forest, so full of fog, blinding me
I feel the white sheen in front and beyond
There are slight impressions of darkened trees
Ahead lies a pit, I can’t go around
Hole terrifies me so near to great heights
The fog engulfs me, taking away sounds
I venture past the place not seen in nights
The fog seeming to make me gasp for air
Now I feel the trees to be my dark sights
I don’t sense end of the forest aware
The dark trunks just vanish right before me
It seems like I don’t know or I don’t care
The forest escaped me leaving me free
And I feel the loss of a good night friend
I’m just left with a white sheet that’s empty
I crawl to avoid holes within the bend
But hope and wish to find a tree again
