A Little Foggy

The fog is so thick I can not see the sticks, that in a wasted life,
rise off the dirty grave of the forest floor. 
There is no beauty that could compare to the sight
of the thick ground clouds, that embrace my morning. 
To run through the moisturous blanket into the unseen
and unknown would be a spectacular thrill. 
The cool droplet of water stroking my feet, as they are released from
the tall finger grasses. tickle me kindly. 
I chase the fog as its spread of mystery begins to rise
and confines back up into the sky. 
I reach for the heartbeat of the fog, hoping that surrounding my skin,
with its life, it would carry me away. 
I dance with it deeper into the dense woods, where it awakens the pine trees, 
with its wet breath. 
Higher and higher the fog rises.
I climb a welcoming oak tree,
stretching with its limbs grabbing for the clouds. 
Take me away my morning fog, I want to ride this elevator to the sky,
to the heavens, take me away. 
The fog disappaites and I am left with misty hands and empty eyes. 
I look around clearly, seeing the crispness of nature,
basking in all her beauty 
From the heights of this old oak tree,
I realize... I am lost.

Joyce Johnson August 1, 2014 at 7:10 PM That clears up the mystery. I was wondering why two poets had chosen the same theme to write about. Well done and congratulations. Love, Joyce Ct Duet August 2, 2014 at 11:22 AM Thank you Joyce...Our styles are strikingly similar and Casarah is such a pleasure to work with...blessings Tim

Charlotte Puddifoot August 1, 2014 at 6:35 PM well, I only just realized that casarah was the other half of the duo, she's won twice! lol and how strange that I should place both pieces together! I thought the descriptions in this were very effective - phrases such as "dirty grave of the forest floor" and the fog's "wet breath" - you really brought the fog to life, and created quite an eerie atmosphere with your words - congrats to both of you! :) Ct Duet August 2, 2014 at 2:16 PM Thank You Charlotte. We are thrilled and honored at our placement...Casarah and Tim

Faye Gibson August 1, 2014 at 6:06 PM Well, I didn't know until now that this is Casarah and Tim...writing in duet. I love this piece. I am from West Virginia where the fog can move in quickly and gathers most evenings in the river valleys. I love writing about it and you all have done a bang up job with this great write. Congratulations. Casarah Nance August 1, 2014 at 8:10 PM Thanks, I have had some pretty foggy mornings lately, it is beautiful to see the woods surrounded by fog. thanks for reading Faye, :) we both appreciate it :)
