Closed Eyelids
(a Tanka)
The dawn’s cozy fog
Dare’s the dozy sun to shine
And awake the world’s
Closed eyelids to the wonders
Of Nature’s Forgotten Sky

And we still, get those, moments of darkness to sleep for only a minute or two, before the sun shines through the windows, to get us all up and going for the day…

A powerful poem, Ivor! Such truth!
In Nature fog can be mysterious, haunting, dangerous.
In Life people choosing to close their eyes…to be uncaring, selfish, apathetic is so sad.
