The world is muffled

Space distorted

Until distance expands

And all beyond my steps

Has faded –

The mist plays tricks

Hiding the sun

That rises beyond

The obscuring wall

Covering us –

We borrow

From the night

Living in between the hours

That would carry us

Into the light –

Waiting

We stare into the veil

Blinded with our open eyes

Senseless

Until the clarity comes ~ Caroline A. Slee
