Haze

Morning's first breeze

Whispers as if

Beware winter is slowly

Setting in..!

Drab cold winter evening

Sans all the needed warmth..

Searches within its own breath

The solace of life, 

And the purpose of love !

Chill in the air

Smoke as I yawn

Wrapped in a blanket
My heart sleeps in yours..

While soul yearns for a walk

In the dew filled lawn...!

As I pour my dawn coffee

Or sit alone with my 

Evening book

I fail to blink my blank eyes

As I do not know

At what I gaze

Or, for what I look ...!

Mist envelops the earth's crust

Fog hazes my path..

All as if to help me lose my way

So that I stop my eternal search..!

The fog, the fading light..

The biting cold wind..

All conspires against me

So that, you I may not find..!
