praying in the fog

it's beyond

foggy.

it's a black and white

movie

starring

Claude Raines.

it's treacherous

out there.

the air is thick

and wet.

you can't see your hand

in front

of your face.

everything

is in slow motion.

even

the birds are cloaked

in black

and grey.

the stillness

and quiet of the earth

is eerie.

it's time to kneel

on the soft ground

and pray.
