The Light Through Fog


    

Yet here's the sun

lifting from the quills of morning

through mist-filled woods

thinner now each hour


The sky deepens to the blue you love

midges dance with sunlight in their wings

refraction slips along on gossamer

connecting everything to everything


The spiders too have spun a busy night

and here am I writing in a field

another poem with you in it

so thinly veiled our past shines through


Translucent webbed and hung with dew

backlit by all that happened

with winter still two moons away

yet where are you?




The light through fog is convalescent. 
Virginia Wolfe
