Awoke to silence,

a room filled with dim light.

I open the front door and

I step into nature's cool embrace,

damp fingers of fog wrap around my face.

Surrounded by white, completely blind,

I follow the sound of your voice.

Mind  filled with the fog of indecision,

a clear path forward suddenly obscured by thick clouds

that keep me from moving forward too fast.

The Lesson:

Move cautiously,

listen to the inner voice.

Take small steady steps 'till the clouds dissipate,

and the horizon is visible again.
