Fog Wrapped the Isle Like a Saephua

If anyone had been lingering outside the bank several hours past midnight, they would have seen a slight individual enter the area and paste a crisp parchment to one of the columns. Notably distinct from all the other posters and various graffiti in town, the parchment bore only a simply-drawn, inverted crown, with a short slip of verse:

Yesterday, fog wrapped the isle like a saephua.
Who was awake to see its retreat?
Last night's breezes swept the island clean.

Jasmine unfurls in familar gardens.
Who can foresee what the day will bring?
Serenely, dawn comes. No harsh words are spoken.
Vessels bob gently at rest on the sea,
Quiet as the krakens that slumber beneath.
