Still Asleep

The fog hangs
Heavy over everything
Dawn is just
Arriving
Even the mountains
Are still asleep
A burst of pink
Rises up in the distance
Obscured by the mist
So soft and beautiful
Rain on my face
My glasses fog up too
Myles hurries me along
His energy high from the cold
My lungs and feet
Keep the pace
The trees feel still
As if in shock
A seagull flies
Directly over my head
Then the rest of the flock
Lift off in a spiral up to the roof
Almost home
Grateful for my coat and hat
