the stillness of the valley
---------------------------

the fog hangs over the land in thin layers
    gently draped over it's slope
      like the veils of a dancer

there is something clear and precise here
    the scenery infinitely detailed
      with each gradient
        crisp and defined
        seperate regions
          disappear into the depths

the light behaves differently here, too
    neatly organizing itself into
      pages of intensity
        stacked against the sky
        stillness and resolution
        hypperreal like etched metal

the static vastness
    ancient and silent
    a vanguard against confusion
      waiting for the truth sayers
        to follow it's lead
