No Welcome

The weather did not welcome me

The overcast sky threatened rain

Menacing clouds scowled most blackly

And bleakly I looked down again.



Hope defiantly briefly flared

Then subsided into grey doubts.

Tempestuous sky, to emphasize

Emitted a loud angry shout.



In the distance a foghorn moaned

Sounding desolate, quite lonely.

Swirling smoky mist blocked clear vision

And my world shrank- to me, only.



Only, lonely, alone in fog-

A stranger among the strange here.

No, there was no welcome offered me,

No intruders allowed so near!
