I am fog

I am fog

Elusive, uncontainable,

I come in the mysterious hours

Before sun takes reign

Over the endless fields.

Only birds join my walk

On shivery mornings,

Thirsting for dew, we float together,

Watching the world

In slumber.

I come in the lonely hours

Of late autumn nights,

Envelop you with my cold, wet breath.

Only faded lights join my walk,

Of candles and lanterns,

Thirsting for an embrace, we hover together,

Watching the world

Dream away.

Try to trap me

And I no longer will be fog.
