INTO THE FOG

INTO THE FOG

Shadows rise and buildings fall

People fade and silhouettes go on parade

Into the fog your vision is blind

Into the fog paranoid delusions overwhelm your mind

Far from where you are you hear a siren’s call

Sounds from inside spark the imagination

What could be causing this fear inside this reverie

Into the fog your curiosity leads

Into the fog the sweat on your forehead beads

Far from where you are you hear a cry of lamentation

Winds blow and animals howl

Out of the corner of your eye you spot a dark shape in the sky

Into the fog your legs take you faster and faster

Into the fog you aimlessly wander

Far from where you are you smell a scent putrid and foul

Thunderous booms hit the ground

Beneath your feet you sense the intensifying heat

Into the fog you are lost and alone

Into the fog you wonder about family and home

Far from where you are you smell rotting flesh and you feel your heart pound

Hues of grey darken and lightning strikes illuminate

A shade now stands near you and its unknown intentions make you afraid

Into the fog you went to find an answer

Into the fog you went to face your master

Far from what you were you discover your future is within your power to create
