AM commutes

The morning commute is shrouded in fog

There’s a chill in the air as I take off my bog

The headlights reflect off the mist that is white

Making navigation tricky and sometimes a fright

The streetlights are but beacons of hope

I hope other drivers are not high on dope

The bus stop yet offers the shelter of trees

Where a few souls gather from the cold and the breeze

I muster the courage and take my first step

Away from the fog, my car slowly crept

The headlight guides me, its a haze of light

Through it all I gain hope and look toward the night

The fog is thick but I know where I’m going

And I can make it through this dull weekday morning

It’s a hard journey but I know I can do it

Turning into my works driveway, I knew I’d get through it.
