The fog rolls in from the Winter’s dormant lake
The tranquilly of a long cold season has been disturbed
Unexpected warmth breaks the doldrums
The unknown from the known elicits emotion
The break from arctic winds is well received
Gray smoke settles in as a physical reminder
All is right but only for a period
Uprooted perception brings forth chaos
For the reprieve, gratefulness is quickly expired
Yet not for the knowledge of a frosty return
But for desecration of experienced knowledge
The mind is challenged from uncertainty
Through the passing shuttle of warmer air
Nature strikes down with simplistic impunity
The affirmation of a mortal soul’s helplessness
In its quest, control is but the fleeting fog itself
