When the morning mist parts…
As the world is revealed little by little it is a bittersweet experience
What once was shrouded in mystery and wonder,gives way to truth
This truth can be beautiful but also ugly
The awe as well as slight fear are replaced with realization
Perhaps even enlightenment
Where we stepped so lightly with care when we could barely see
Now we plod through without a worry
Ever purposeful with the morning duties
Passing by the little treasures that held our gaze slowly revealed in dusk
Though we should not be lost in the mist and forever pine after
Hold onto that sense of wonder, the mystery, and awe
For though the sunlight is brilliant and energetic
The mist hides a whole other world to escape to
Live your life in the sun and also appreciate the wonder in the misty darkness
