Evidence of Rain

The dense fog drapes all like a soft wool shawl
Morn's sun tries to peek through silver gray clouds
But those game roosters crow long_their pride show
God's creatures sing praise some soft_others loud
Rippled clouds (like sands upon a beach lands)
Float upon the eastern sky enshrouded
Caught up in this dense damp fog_ rain's evidence
