Fog hovers above the lake
and moves along the shore
like a live thing.
In the distance,
the docks are barely visible,
ghostly even.
The oak trees beyond my porch
sit motionless,
watching for the sun.
A cool morning in July
feels as rare as this spot
hidden in the Ozark Mountains.
The birds sing a thousand songs
as everyone sleeps.
