Title: Fog in the Park
Post by: WTx on September 23, 2007, 08:01:36 AM
Shot this Saturday morn 9-22 before I had to cover a cross country meet.  This is Ash Creek PArk in Azle,Tx about 7:30 in the morning.

It's just a feeling, of course, but I had the impression in looking at this great shot that there was not a sound to be heard.  The impression is of a very, very quiet and peaceful morning.

Wow what a beautiful sight.  Yes Al quiet and peaceful almost like the world is preparing for the noise of the day.

Now I am sure Colin could write a poem to this picture!

THE MORNING MIST

The mist of morn that slowly drifts
Across the fields and trees at early dawn
And speaks to me in its watery drops
In the mist of time of a morn long gone

In the dawning light of its breaking hours
The air around was hushed and still
And all of nature seemed to hold her breath
For creation's Designer was headed that day to Calvary hill

And misty dewdrops seemed like the tears of God
Weeping for His beloved who would taste of death
Quiet the morn of utter stillness
As the mist of wetness came from its breath

When the rising sun would evaporate the vapour
And drink the tears of the morning dry
A tree would stand on a lonely hillside
And on its wood a man would cry

Forgive them Father for they know not what they do
And again; It is finished! as He bowed His head
Then slumped the frame of His body broken
And on the tree hung the Saviour dead

O misty morn that seems to weep
Countless tears that mingle with my own
Your quietness allows me to think of my Saviour
As I see in my mind that tree alone

Where life for life was freely given
Pardon from Him I can insist
And all His love, compassion and forgiveness
Will enclose me in like the morning mist

Because we moved from the desert to Germany, I was captivated by the fog in the early morning hours -- we don't see fog that much here although I've captured a few photos.

There is something almost ethereal in fog ... a quiet softness all around.

The poem is just beautiful as well.

This is why I love being at this site.

Blessings, Francine

Sorry WTx....I got you mixed in with Marilyn. Your picture is beautiful and I was very inspired to write that poem. The idea was forming in my head the moment I saw it. God bless.
