lost in a daze

relinquish

heavy clouds pour down the mountain,
a thick, down blanket of still silence.
dew gathers and slicks hair to skin
as i search for a path out of the mist.

trudging the length of the valley floor,
my feet sink deep into sodden earth.
water droplets pool on my eyes and
my vision blurs more by the second.

surrendering to the soft quiet at last,
i bow my head to the dampened grass
and dense vapor fills my airway slowly.
the fog sinks and swallows me whole.
