Fettered Fog


It drapes with care the lazy lake below
like a blanket sewn out of  dull dreams,
 and covers trees tall and creepers low,
 like a comrade bound by pack and duties.

O Fog! isn't my state just like yours,
caring for few and chiming with many,
with conviction unsure in dreary nights
yet stranded here by chains of responsibility. 

Responsibility! its a thread woven by heart
that is burdened by past and scared of future,
just like you, O fog!, I stand still and inert
marching  thro' this dreary dusk like a martyr.

Thou vanish unburderned into nothingness
when splendid sun rushes to your aid in morning
  I  too, O comrade, shall be unfettered at once
when the wisdom within ends this mourning.
