Foggy Ways
Grey skies fade my mornings away
Trying to see through the foggy window
Past, is the fog outside
I breathe into it, wiping it away
Seeing if I can make sense of it
Its cloudy
I can see near
But, not the distance I would like to go
Gloomy days appear
As the radiance from the sun gives strength
But, the grey skies never appear, when I let others see it through
Only for me, I can’t see the sun
How bright it shines
As my journey stops and goes
Gets covered by fog and sometimes unpredictable snow
I’m going in with no plan
But no expectations
No longer letting anxiety, distractions, and stress
Cloud or shift my way of seeing
Focus on getting through the fog
The gloomy day is only one
Tomorrow maybe sunny
But no longer waiting for the fog to dissipate to clear the way

We are experiencing yet another foggy day here (the San Francisco area) and it is definitely affecting my mood. So I can see how you felt when you wrote this poem. I like all of your mental images.
