the fog




{This series was inspired by my son's sixth grade english assignment
 of writing for six minutes, without edits or overthinking it.  
I'll be posting daily quick writes for the month of March.}

the fog,
thick and pixelated,
blankets the world
just outside my window.

dewy, wet branches
breathe a heavy sigh
as the sun fights to emerge
through the slate-colored sky.

the sun surrenders.
grey wins.
the dampness is absorbed
by the ground, the air, the day

melancholy fills the ether,
sadness takes up residence,
reminding us to sink
into ourselves and feel

the fringe of darkness
just beneath the surface
of our body, our mind

with tendrils of love
and acceptance
gently traveling down
to the soles of our feet

we remind the darkness -
we are rooted,
we are strong,
we are loved; and
soon we are going to

shine.
