The fog moves on...

The fog moves on...
Carl Sandburg
To understand any living thing, you must, so to say, creep within and feel the beating of its heart.
~ William (W.) MacNeile Dixon
from The Human Situation: The Gifford lectures delivered in the University of Glasgow, 1935-1937 (1937).

I was just a child...

I was just a child when you melted
From my life
I was too young to really understand
Finality
But whenever I walk in Nature
I walk with you
My father
