Grey Mist

The fog hung 
over 
   the forest 
a small black 
bird flies out af a bush
grey mist   
        over the 
forest and the 
valley
    weary travelers
walk silently in 
the gloom
     Breathe in the air
   there's a tinge 
of cold
      leaves are 
stirred by the 
wind
   near the 
forest is a dark castle
Will we find hope 
     and sustenance 
there?
     eyes peer out 
through the shadows 
  we still hope 
so we 
    enter the 
edifice 
     and before long our fate is sealed
