We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing Him directly just as He knows us!
1 Corinthians 13:12

Fog Over the Lake
Floating, setting the lake's mood
Hanging, like a curtain harboring the dark
Leaving what lies beneath it in solitude
Where Nature takes it, it leaves no mark.
Drifting, from daybreak to twilight
The lone, desolate sky fallen on the wake
Through the haze of night clouds, I view the starlight:
"O how I love thee, Lady of the Lake!"
A blanket of mist summoned above the water
Calming all life, the conviction of lament.
Though when the Lady brought the wind astir
I saw the fog over the lake as it came and went.
