“Foggy Haze”
By Derek Felix AKA DFlex
It happened so suddenly the other day
While I was at the park for a walk
The sun was burnt orange on Monday
It left me wondering after I had stopped
I took a few shots of the bright sky
Without realizing anything had changed
When I got back, I never asked why
Until later, the next day when things looked deranged
The first thing I noticed was the uncomfortable smell
It smelt like burnt rubber as I got to my car
The sky had morphed into hell
The sun was barely visible from afar
A foggy haze
Took over our place
A foggy haze
Made it feel like outer space
It got worse as day became night
The smell of fire was suddenly everywhere
It felt like a soul had been burning while dimming the light
Creating an uneasy breeze along with smoke over here
There’s no escape from the chalk of gray
That’s dampened the mood outside
Paradise from a few days ago feels like yesterday
It’s been so long since then due to being trapped inside
The wildfires up north have caused unhealthy conditions
That has left fog and haze drifting around
Leaving us to make the most logical decisions
Until it dissipates, we must stay up and down
A foggy haze
Has left me confused
A foggy haze
Can cause us to lose
