A Long Goodbye

A Long Goodbye
A vast familiar landscape flutters and faulters;
invites and departs
Fog slowly rolls in,
shrouding present and past,
in a harsh, lonely tomb

Love your line, "Fog slowly rolls in," It covers everything. You could make a book out of this. Have a blessed day/weekend...........

Hopefully this disease will go the way of polio and diphtheria and be gone for good. Thanks, gw

The same symptoms as covid fog, surroundings become unfamiliar as memory fails. Good write!

It's tragic how ecstatic happiness can lead to an intolerable gloom of the spirit! Robert
