May be an image of tree

In the early morning fuzz, a smoky inhale of life the lamppost is lit and the trees are just waking up Five Forty Two Am: the eyes of the sky are grayly I hold my stave high as I begin my very first poem Bushes and creeks containing tiny quakes of light piercing through a silent heaven, I feel alright Sleeping in the room next door he is unaware of the awakened altered state that claims me Down the path of memories I go alone and safe standing behind a closed window, vouchsafe ! Smoke blankets the city on this Friday morning I can't touch the fire, I am only its town crier as I write about the residue of the wildfires, I can see the peeling back of its slight and know instinctively, It is daylight....

I once lived near the Franklin Mtns; we occasionally had wildfires that permeate the air to the point that I didn't know the difference between daylight and darkness....that's why the last verse resonated with me. well done, yellow rose

It must have been awful Yellow, we take so much for granted, such as a healthy environment, hope you now live in a place with less fires,

We don't have fog in Malta. Mists are a rare thing and quickly dissipate. Nights are clear but even policemen are afraid in some areas.

This is the after effect of all the forest fires in California and abroad that they cannot contain,
