The Damp Cloak
Silvery fog blankets the trees
Slowly creeps across the vale
Wraps a cloak upon my bare arms
Damp dreary thoughts prevail
The bright cheery sun is covered
Revealed a gray wolf's eye
Pale and hungry waiting for prey
Releasing tears and sighs
White circle icy cold pierces clouds
In the sky, hope appears
No permanence in fog's presence
Even though sun disappeared
Like life's changing circumstances
Is the early morn's sky
In seconds from fog to gold light
From fear to God's love fly
