Poetry: Walking in the fog

Invisible or yet it seems
alone among the mist
Like smoke encircling me
it draws me in

Silence like no other
as if a barrier to the world
twigs snap, steps come quickly
gasping I wait.

Closing my eyes, I hear crickets
my breath slows as I relax
I listen and wait for what is to come
I step on slowly in the haze

It is ok, I will be ok
The sounds come in as I walk with eyes closed
the wind, the insects, even a bird calls
I feel my way grasping trees for guidance

I slowly open my eyes
mist begins to clear
I have made it
Through the fog I have made it

    whirling aside as its tendrils touch
    and engulfs every obstacle in its path.
    Its misty

    - The little ghost town -

    I was walking along an old road,
    the asphalt was old, consumed and lacking
    full of mud and slimy

    West Park Mornings

    Fog is not strung like a harp
    it is a wild and sordid affair
    hungry for rhythm
    pulsing like the exodus to
