In the forest

in the morning

the mist lies heavy

and protects the trees

hiding sprites

wrapped in soft grey wisps

of light

undetectable to the eye

I think they won’t hurt me

but better not

give cause

step light

fly swiftly by

onward and through

a mere visitor

clearing foggy mind

it’s not quite

my place today
