Solitude

On some days
When the fog sets in 
It can seem I am all alone -

A solitary, bare-branched tree by the water’s edge
A sketchy shadow
Lost in the undefined blur.

There have been days 
when the fog 
and the loneliness 
have frightened me.

But not today. 

Today I shall revel in this sensory hush
Today I shall ponder my undisturbed reflection
Today I shall cherish this fleeting moment
Before it’s misty veil lifts.
