Into this foggy morning comes a song by Judith Heron

Into this foggy morning comes a song
by
Judith Heron

driven by no other instrument than dew

how it gathers into one small drop

falls from a fading apple leaf

and this music goes on

all over the tree

until faint sun bursts forth

October hush of morning
takes a bow

Because I know the fog and its spider web October magic, I love this poem. Judith has caught it.
