Fog
A world of fog,
Grey, gloomy, ghastly,
Waiting for a ray of light
Strong enough to pierce the scene
And leave a little warmth in our hearts
Not today as it seems,
Longing, lonely, like lunatics
We stumble through life,
Seeing nothing but
A cloth of assumptions.
Oh what a frightening day,
Hopeless, harsh, haunting,
With remnants of knowledge
To guide our way, like
A liar guides the lost.
To guide our way, like a liar guides the lost.
and I am keeping both
. Thanks Michael.
I can only tell you what lines truly move and inspire me…making me think.
If I was a true poet, I would say more.
Beautiful.

This one landed in the spam section for some reason. But I found it
To guide our way, like
A liar guides the lost.
Love that line.
I wish I understood this poem more.
I am not a poet but I can truly appreciate words.
I appreciate yours, fully…

Sometimes my lines write themselves. It has been foggy all day today, especially the morning train ride lacked any light. As I finished writing, I looked at what I had written and a metaphor emerged. But I’ll leave the readers to find theirs.
