265-farm-fog

Pre dawn cool and dampness
came to a head this morning
Fog wrapped around the farm
settling like a cumulous cloud on us

Eerie kind of feeling
walking out to work
trucks and trains
a half mile away
sounded oh so close
Even the birds were hushed
from their usual sun up chatter

The air seemed so heavy
like it wanted to lay its burden down
I guess it did!
Fogged us in!
Made us feel so small again
so captured by the weather

Rain and snow
ice and wind
each take their turns
And now comes fog
urging us to bow
to recognize
how little we really control

How sweet is time
gently passing
the good old sun
fixing things up
Breaking through
burning away the fog

The Son does the same
He is patient, so patient
He breaks through
‘burning away the fog

“We see through a glass dimly,
and then face to face’…
And is new every morning
with faith fullness.
