The fog drifts
like memory--
shrouded,
across harbours and skies
while eyes search
for familiar glimpses
of yesterday's clarity...

This so makes me think of someone I knew with Alzheimers.
It just grabbed me from "like memory--shrouded," The words "across harbours and skies" made me think of life as in safe harbours of home. To me you too a simple thing like fog and put emotion to a human condition. A great write. I can see how it can be interpreted in other ways too but for me that's how I saw it. kudos

So vivid. The image here is perfectly apt and the sense of searching nearly tangible. I think most can identify with this hindsight feeling.

a great final thought in this poem. We can only really see through the fog using yesterday's memories.

Brava!
Short and sweet.
"The fog drifts like memory--shrouded" had to be my favorite line.
You left me wanting more; well penned, indeed!
