A Little Drizzle

6/12/17

A little
Drizzle

When I left
I did not expect

That I'd be unable to see 
10  feet in front of me

Due to driving upon
The fog
The winds were strong
Dropping branches and logs

The scenery rather dismal, instead of delightful
During arrival

I had to check
And inspect

Then assess
Fix or clean up any mess

By taking continual steps
And doing my best

There was work to be done
Whether I needed to walk or run


Touched up on any loose ends
And made sure to mend

My socks and shoes were soaked
In a place considered remote
It was all no joke
And worth taking a wise approach

Hands were getting cold
But still maintained hold
Eventually finished the job, in the way I was told

Knocked it out efficiently
There remained poor visibility

Until 
I was halfway down the hill

Far less dusty
Barely muddy
The weather may have not been, but my day was still lovely
