Fog Is Rising

Fog is rising from the distant valley, As morning creeps toward high noon While courageous rafters run the river, And the early climbers reach the crest Of the outcropping along the edges Where the river valley ceases to exist.

Thank you so much, Robert. It just seemed to end there at the river's edge for me. Maybe I'll add to it....

Your imagery is making me want to climb over some rocks and sit down on this river bank Hank.

It's a rugged place between the rocky cliffs and the river bank, the New River flowing toward Gauley, where it joins the Gauley River and becomes the Kanawha...my old stomping ground.
