Winter Fog

WINTER    FOG

Grey fingers soft as a pickpocket’s
Kingdom of the blind
With no one-eyed man

People appear and disappear for a moment
Ghost visitors to the realm
Steal   in and out,

And are lost. 
Feet pressed to the  ground
Are  the only assurance 

That sooner or later
The robbed land  will reappear
And the abdication of the sun will end.

Incrdible free verse, Syd. I especially love the last line about the "abdication of the sun." How creative! If this is for one of the free verse contests, it should definitely be a winner! Love, Carolyn
