A Foggy Morning

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
