Fog

by George Hoerner

it's morning
the fog lies
so heavy
the sun
hasn't the strength
to lift the thick haze
from its moorings

there is
little breeze
so nothing moves
except
the slow
rolling waves
lapping the sand

time pauses
waiting
for something
to catch up

but there
is nothing
but more
time
which
swallows
everything

Hi George. "nothing but more/time/which/swallows/everything" That's terrific. This slowed me down, and it's a wonderful pondering. Thanks.

Slow, but relentless, and in the end, a hell of a faster than we could ever move. Really nicely done, man.

A fascinating thought at the end - almost like time with its tale in its mouth, spinning, spinning....

Aloha George, I loved the lazy feel in this one. Like on a certain summer day....when time was merely a concept and not something watched continuously, second by second... alisa ;-)
