The sky is gray.
   The lake is gray.
 The city beyond is gray.

Once so big,
   The city is now small,
 And I fear fog
   Might erase it.

In the wee hours,
 The city becomes a blur
   Of color and motion,
     But the moon
         Is the moon

Stony hills
   Blanketed in green;
 Softened -
   Yet still hard.
 Silent -
    Yet riotous
    As wind buffets
    My face when I
    Speed past.
