Beneath The Mist Every little leaf, bronzed around the edge Every little scarlet berry hidden beneath Is touched by the morning mist And the beauty is beyond belief. Around street corners Hovering like some alien being Cobwebs frozen in time See their producer fleeing. Teeth chattering, kneecaps knocking Scarves covering an icy breath Birds eggs shattered on a footpath An unborn bird takes an early death Car tyres crunching on a blackened surface Sprinkled with salt to get a good grip An elderly personβs walking stick gave way Not much good now with a broken hip. The morning mist, has its drawbacks Danger hidden under black ice Keep the eyes peeled for their are traps Think carefully and think twice.
