FOG'S BRUSH

You know the mist that hangs its nests
Along the rolling hills

You know the fog
Like a pure white log

That flows down the valley floor

And wraps its vest
Like a sheer curtain guest

Around the cabin door.

You know the spells
That fog can sell

On mornings without a sunrise

With hands so soft
To carry aloft

Merlin's mythic legends

When you become the canvas and the fog becomes the brush
When all the world takes the time to observe a silent hush

When you alone
Behold the zone

That walks with you
That stalks with you

A magical moving boundary.

An earth bound cloud
Merlin's shroud

That stops the world from spying

The sun will likely break this spell
Where elves and hobbits surely dwell

For now there is another point appearing
So I will let the fog do the steering
