Transition

I see the sun lowering
in the the western sky.
Heat of day now 
cooling into night.

I hear the cooing 
of the mourning dove.
The gentle sounds 
on soft still winds.

I feel the wind 
gently blowing my hair 
across my face
as night settles in.

Dusk to dawn, then
Dawn to dusk.
Life in motion.
Life in transition.

I'm in a fog

I’m in a fog.
I cannot see
What’s to the left
Or right of me.

The world is there
However gray.
I do not see
The price I pay.

Which way is forward?
I cannot find
Familiar landmarks
In my mind.
