Analysis of Touching Fog
It is foggy, this world we try to get
the meaning of, the reason why we give.
It has the feel of a book to be read,
sucking you in, its content you’ve to live.
And while you do, always be combative.
In dreams, the guts to try this book is there,
I walk its path; I know I’ll slowly wear
till nothing is much more than what will come.
Thus I find death to be a rich eclair,
enormous peace no fog will ever numb.
