I listen to the fog horns blow
As I lie awake at home
The plays I've learned to love so well
The place that I have grown
Many a days I've spent alone
Pondering on which this life I live
And its future that is unknown
Those who try to seek its path
Get lost amongst the mist
And are only shown the way back out
By the horns that guide their ships

Rainy/fogy days give me a lot of inspiration.

I really like your poem! The rhythm of it is perfect, and you manage to rhyme just enough without it getting too much (like rhyming sometimes can be). "And the future that is unknown/Those who try to seek its path/Get lost amongst the mist." :] <3 If you have time (sorry) could you come comment on my writing!!! THX!!!!!!!!
