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
