Fog Image--By Gert W. Knop--Germany

Nebelbild (German)

Der Tag verschwunden schon im Nebel
und blaue Schatten fallen dort,
wo Häuser standen.
Nur dünne schwarze Arme
winterlicher Bäume
dringen durch die weiße Wand,
und wiegen sich im leichten Wind
mit sanftem Flüstern

Fog Image (English)

The day yet disappeared in fog
and blue shadows fall
where once were houses.
Only thin black arms
of brumal trees
penetrate the white wall
swaying in the breeze
with gentle whisper
