When I awoke this morning, my room had the hues of twilight

Morning was doing its best to peek through the windows,

But Darkness was currently winning the fight.

Believing I had more time to dream, I sank back into my pillow

Glanced at my phone to find out how many hours I had to spare

And good thing I did, because it gave me quite the scare!

It was my typical time to start the day

My biological clock was on par despite the dusky display

Stretching my legs and pointing my toes with all my might

I heaved myself away from the slumbering mattress

And planted my feet on the ground

Immediately opening my windows to have a look around

The air so dense, saturated in a foggy cloud

It was like being eye level with the Heavens, making me feel quite proud

Most times fog gets a bad reputation

Depicting spooky scenes or ominous narration

But there’s a peace I find when being hugged by the puffy air

I’m intrigued that it’s because Mother Nature needed a bit more time to prepare

Cloaking her creation until she has it just perfectly to unveil

Hoping her production makes humans stop and appreciate

The big and small things that she did create

The bouncy step you take as your feet kiss the dewy grass –

Is more inspiring than thinking of running to your car so you can fill it with gas

Counting how many colorful hues you can find in the sunshine’s beams

Is way more fun than staring at your phone and following a tedious routine

Inhaling the scent of moisture in the air, fresh and cool

Knowing soon many raindrops together will pool

To give the ground and plants a cocktail to quench their thirst

So ask yourself, what is it that you notice first

When you cannot see clearly because of the fog in our horizon

Does it make you feel humdrum, exhausted and wizened

Or can you find the hope being crafted underneath

The beautiful cloud that is a sheath

Promising a grand reveal

In hopes that it’s your breath it will steal.

So foggy mornings are a reason to smile

It’s a promise of something better coming in a short while.

Mother Nature sure is wild.
