She creeps quietly into early hours
of the morning, inundating gentle
feelings and thoughts into the grey
and equatorial haze that threatens
to linger inside most fragile mind.
The fog brings out a darker side to
everything, reminds put not eggs
in one basket.

Thank you so much, Paul 🙂 so good to see you ❤️
Putting all your eggs in one basket, is a great Easter saying, lol
Definitely 😀 thanks for stopping by, Walt ❤️
I love those foggy grey days…you rarely see them in the desert.
Thank you so much, Annell 😀 so good to see you ❤️

I think it’s the title that I found most memorable—great one!

“inundating gentle

So delicate and yet such a powerful image!
Thank you so much, Daniela 😀 so good to see you ❤️
Not a good idea to do!

I love morning walks but not too foggy, ha ~ I would think one is musing and planning something – which is good not to put all the eggs in 1 basket ~
Thank you so much, Grace 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
“The fog brings out a darker side to everything, reminds put not eggs in one basket.”
– wise advise, Sanaa !
Though, I love mornings with a bit of fog 😀
Thank you so much, Neeraj 😀 so good to see you ❤️
I think it is wise not to keep all eggs in one basket, as one never knows when you might need it. There is something mystical about fog.
Definitely 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Truedessa ❤️
You managed eloquence, imagery, a reminder of easter and a wise warning in 44 words…. Bravo!
Thank you so much, Vivian 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Fog can conceal but clarity shone through with the “eggs” quote.
Thank you so much, Lynn 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
I like the hot equatorial haze that hang around in the mind…. disturbing our minds… Now what might those eggs be that get separated into other baskets??

Ooh, ominous. The fog reminds of that hazy darkness in everyone/thing. How can we ever place full trust?

Very pensive, very wise.

Happy Tuesday! much love…
Like Annell, I seldom see fog where I live, but there was a time when I lived where it was often seen. It does have its own beauty, and yes, it can stir up dark thoughts.
Thank you so much, Rosemary 😀 so good to see you ❤️
the fog brings out a darker side… nicely done…like it!
Thank you so much, Rajani 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
As a person who has miraculously survived, only have one egg and putting it one basket, I would not recommend the practice. 🙂
❤️❤️❤️
What a perfect title! I like the way you used ‘egg’.
Thank you so much, Sara 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
The title is genius! It sets the mood for this beauty.
Thank you so much, Candace 😀 so good to see you ❤️
“The fog brings out a darker side to everything”…..this was a timely line for me as I drove home from work today along the river in very dense fog. A different perspective and reminder of life’s unexpected turns.
Definitely 🙂 thanks for stopping by, Mish ❤️
Beautiful….loved the way you sketched fog….and that wisdom…!!

The long opening sentence captures the mood really well.
Thank you so much, Kerry 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
The fog brings out a darker

It can be a damper Sanaa, to a well-thought-out schedule frustrating good intentions.

A novel take on fog, lyrical yet a touch dark. Fine stuff.
