A chapter in the book Octograms

The Lifting Fog

by adewpearl


As darkness lifts, let dawn begin
on earth below.
On rolling hills mist settles in;
the fog hangs low.
The landscape still in silhouette
has not full blaze of day yet met,
so till the sun completes her glow,
the fog hangs low.

I feel the pulse of life within
this first light show,
and as more brilliance gathers in,
I feel it grow.
As muted pastels disappear
and fog banks slowly start to clear,
I pray this day on me bestow
God's light aglow.

The octogram is a brand new poetic form invented by Fan Story's own Sally Yocom. This is my second poem written in this gorgeous form. A verse is 8 lines long with syllable count of 8/4/8/4/8/8/8/4, with a rhyme scheme of ABABCCBB.
In the second verse the rhyme is ABABDDBB.
