The Constanza of Time

Fog thick as thieves reduces sight
Its white-gray silhouettes pine trees
Floating in moisture feels at ease

Slow misty drops drip dark as night
Coating all trees, shrubs, animals
This eerie scene quite tangible

Quiet in nature a delight
Animals hunkered down; wait time
In den or nest, life seems sublime

Time seems to be in life's slow flight
Cold and hunger engross their life
Soon birds will come to feed no strife 

Days numbered 'pon the wall indite
Animals accept each second
Not knowing time their great present



Fog thick as thieves reduces sight
Slow misty drops, drip dark as night
Quiet in nature a delight
Time seems to be in life's slow flight
Days numbered 'pon the wall indite
 

Written January 02, 2014

Lovely poem, good to see you still writing on here. I like how the poem eases from the surreal to the "tangible" scene. Thanks for sharing.
