Fog Personification

The Fog

He looked up and smiled
A coy smile
“So you are coming for me again?”
He called

There was no answer,
Just silence
That eerie silence
That deathly silence

He pulled out his coat
Huddled down next to a rock
But he couldn’t protect himself
Not against her touch

She moved quickly
Her arms outstretched
Encompassing him in her cloak
Smothering him in her bosum

He pulled his hat down
His coat up
But he couldn’t fight her
She was all powerful

Looking out he could see nothing
He felt lost in her sublime silent embrace
His body cold
His clothes wet

She can’t stay much longer
She must move on soon
What time is it?
He head swam with thoughts

So tired
So very tired
Snuggling down
Sleep soon took hold

Lifting her skirts
She rushed off down the hill
Leaving him there
Alone and silent

They came from the Village
But they were too late
Once again she had struck
Leaving death behind her.
