Parsing Carl Sandburg

The fog comes 
on little cat feet”

Did Carl Sandburg know 
about the spirit of sadness 
present for so many 
at this time of year?

It sits looking 
over harbour and city 
on silent haunches 
and then moves on.”

Sadness stills and swirls, 
watching glittering lights, 
hearing music silently 
and then gives way 
to contentment, peace and joy.

“Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space”
~ Orson Scott Card,  Alvin Journeyman
