Quietness

Net like fog covers crevices Encroaches upon daylight Delayed light waits to break horizon Ending fog's gripping might In the fog there is this sense of Solitude entertained As crickets chatter to their neighbor And roosters' crows remain A sense of peace settles and feeds The spirit is nourished. Quietness deepens a sense of worth In stillness a spirit can flourish Finis

Fog when it rolls in makes everything disappear. I have watched it mesmerized as it covered the Golden Gate Bridge. It truly cuts one off from the rest of the world. Silence is golden. I love it when everything is quiet. Thank you for the visit.

The fog can be a nice beginning to a day or the end of a day if one doesn't have to travel the roads or waterways of the world. It helps us to slow down just a little. Sara
