FOG

FOG IN OAK CREEK CANYON

driving up the canyon

tonight

dark of the moon

snow drapes red cliffs

the road twists

and curves

up up up

switchbacking

into a cloud

beside the road

emptiness

a thousand feet

down

nothing

in my vision

nothing

in my world

to cling to

tonight

except

a faint yellow line

and you

fog-shrouded headlights

behind me

that say press on

I'll share the night

share the beauty

catch you if you fall

the long road

winds home, love

unseen

but so full

of your light

always
