Poetry in the fog

Lancaster, UK January 18, 2011.

Sweet hickory smoke wafts my way 
as I wander down a foggy lane, 
reminding me of a beautiful memory
I cannot name. 

The solitary moon and I are nearly 
invisible in this sleepy town. 
No one knows that we are here 
as we quietly wander our hidden paths. 

Song birds chirp, cheering 
the dark places, the lonely places,
the wandering souls like me. 
I wait for the sun to rise and
burn through this fog 
which has clouded my heart.

Can it burn my heart 
to feel once more? 
Oh, to be warmed
by love once again!
