A misty fog hovers
Inside my head
Squeezing out
All the feelings
That I have the
Ability to feel
Some say I
Am so strong
But there are times
When I doubt this
Sometimes what we
Know is good for us
Hurts worse than
When we can hide
Between the fog
And dismiss it
For only one more day
The heart feels
The eyes can see
That life moves
Forward when our
Hands reach out
To stop it
Laughter hidden
Tears can be seen
As the mind soaks
In new words
Taking too long
To digest it seems
It is one stage
At a time that
I must enter
Until it becomes
Perfectly clear
That life must
Not remain the same
That new doors
Will be opened
And others shut
Softly behind
Leaving all pain
To whither a way
Into dust being
Swept up in the
Midst of the fog
Until I can have
Time to understand………

To end up in fog …. isn’t a pleasant thing … the feeling of being totally lost and have no control of the surrounding. If it’s a feeling, state of mind or outside.Terry, I truly love this.

I don’t like fog at all. Whether outside or in my mind. I like order and knowing where I am walking.

The strength and power of the words is only matched by the needed strength and power of the woman behind them.
