Fog rose out of the valley
Where Hoar Oak Water runs
Swarmed up onto our hill path
Rose further to blot the sun
Encompassed within minutes
We faltered on our way
Scrambled up a steep slope
To see hills afloat on a vast sea

These lines are lovely, Kim, and paint the scene beautifully. I particularly like the details of ‘we faltered’ and ‘scrambled’ which let the reader catch a glimpse of those observing the scene. 😊 (incidentally, did you mean to say ‘encompassed within’? Not important)
