The Fog Poem by Noah Body

The Fog



Cold, damp, musty fog comes creeping
Blotting the light across the landscape
Into life's bones the chill is seeping
Muffles the soul with a thick grey cape

All about are dim shapes without form
Colorless specters of what once had been
Twisting and swirling as they transform
Fade away as their substance grows thin

A cold lightless universe of thick gray
Direction and distance lose all import
In stasis or moving impossible to say
Is it a long way to go or is it so short

The concluding line is telling. Across the mist and fog, this is the question. Seen from the level of a struggling life, this gives a deeper meaning. Fine thoughts.
