Analysis of The Morning Fog



Sonnet 23
The Morning Fog
The early morning fog on autumn days
Transports the mind to a mystical place
As sunlight seeps through trees like heaven’s rays
And the glory of God and man embrace,
When familiar places come off unknown
With the fairy fog blanketing the grass
And the wet road ahead dissolves unshown
Into a hidden snowy castle pass,
With every secret fortress in my mind
Secluded deeper than souls under white
Vapor blankets to go up from mankind,
He appears, bright as day, the thief at night.
That one morning I thought with awe and fear
“Swift as fog fades, we’ll disappear.”

About this poem

I wrote this sonnet this past September after witnessing some fog early in the morning a couple years earlier and contemplating its effect on my imagination. I liked the adventures my mind created for me and took me on as I observed how the fog conceals things. There was a particular mystery to it, a magical feeling, and I began to also think about the rapture by God, and how, on a morning like that, just like the fog dissipates so quickly, we who are Christians may just disappear from the earth.
