Foggy Nights
by
Corny Held
Foggy's the night
Cool the air
Eerie the light
there's noone to care
November is leaving
all trees are bare
all ghosts of winter
are already there
The creatures of frost
don't want to do harm
they bring rest and renewal
cold peace and white charm
they're just tools of time
now passing by slow
to show all things can come
and all things must go
They shadowless loom
and swirl in the gloom
They whisper of doom
in vein gloams of the moon
Muffled all noise
shrouded the sight
Sense what they sigh
trust in lore, it's all right
Winter is coming
carcassed the ease
surreal apparitions
meet for their feast
The dogs in their kennels
try to bite and they bark
but all they can nab
is the fog of the dark
Song
