Nightfall
Fog settles in
Hides the land
Shrouding all
With its veil
Eeriness
In the distance
Lights
Through the dark
Each dimmer than
The one before
Shine
Shadows
Take control
Hovering
Ever so slightly
Spirits
Searching
Seeking
A new host
As I stand
Waiting
In the night

Mists weave in and out of brush
In the forest, a stillness, a hush
Which lingers in the quietude
As morn begins its soft prelude
And wakens to the faintest breeze
Enveloped round the sleepy trees
A sanctuary, a forgotten place
Where life slows, to a calmer pace
A chance to disappear, unheard
Where nothing is said, not a word
And as the winds whisper in my ear
Light covets darkness, crystal clear
To show the beauty I’ve come to see
And rest mine, weary eyes on thee
Soak in, all those in nature’s attendance
The Glory of God, in subtle resplendence

Mystery shrouds, in a misty dawn
Spirits converge, on clouded morn
Gathering, while the city sleeps
About the landscape, silently creep
As not to awaken the human race
Whose shadows linger in this place
For while they dream, of tomorrow
Others mourn, in unearthly sorrow
Until the fog lifts, and the air, clear
They’ll live in a silent, funereal drear

Along the banks they stand, proudly, and wait
The misty morning, always, coveting their fate
Statuesque, majestic trees, one after the other
Try to shake the gloom, as limbs begin to shudder
From tiny particles, tis the rime, of winter’s bane
All they want is warmth, to ease the chilling pain
But alas, when day is over, and the sunlight strays
Evening settles in with more, of that melancholic haze

What lies beyond the forest mist
Comes closer, if you whisper
Your breath, exhale, the frosty dew
As the air becomes much crisper
The path behind you disappears
No footsteps can you follow
Walking through the fog, just you
Staggering, as you wallow
In the stillness that surrounds
Stop now, inhale, and feel it
Winter’s frozen drops abound
In the fog that does conceal it
