Fog (2022)

the fog's been here for days and days
cool and damp it stays and stays
morning and too afternoon
grey obscuring with its gloom -

in my car I'm driving higher
seeking sunlight's warming fire
600 meters pass on by
until I see the clear blue sky -

sparkling in a flowing stream
a shimmering and too bouncing beam
above the cloud which is below
mountain tops with glistening snow
 -
winter weather on the coast
by the sea is like a ghost
above, below and in between
sometimes it seems I'm in a dream

sometimes it seems that when I wake
I'm floating on a misty lake
clinging to a drifting log
longing for an end to fog...
