FOG

It's about 2 a.m here in my hometown and it is a cold winter night. I just stepped out for a moment and observed the only thing that is visible right now, the Fog.

This white fog is covering everything up as if trying to hide all the secrets. It made me feel trapped as if I can't go anywhere if I want to. If I will take one single step, I will be enveloped by it and it will cover me, like it has enveloped everything. It will chill my bones and make me tremble.

There will be no trace of me as there is no trace of the trees and the neighboring houses that are covered in fog and have become invisible. The fog is so dense that even the path leading from my doorway is not visible to me. It is as if there is nothing else left in the world but this Fog.

I couldn't help but feel the world closing in on me and for a second I am unable to breathe. This is the time that made me aware how much I ignore the beauty of the normal world around me.

This situation makes me realize that this is identical to what we feel in our day to day life. We take our loved ones care and love for us for granted, and then when they are no longer with us, when we are separated by the 'Fog' of this life, we miss them. Then we crave their touch and their support to get through the panic and the problems.

I couldn't think anymore. The cold was making me numb and the fog was scaring me, so I did what every other human do. Turned away from my problems, walked inside my house and closed the door on the FOG.
