Cold thin rays of dawn

This thread-like bridge,
this Stairway-into-Heaven fades
to yet another day of fog,
of grey skies, gloom, my thoughts
that match an empty landscape.

O, for snow
and the flit of cardinal song,
to add some color,
or for summer's thirst
in circling shadows of a vulture's wing
that make me shudder.

O cold rays of dawn,
let me cross
this thread-like bridge, this bright thin stairway
out of numbness.

I'm not in the mood to work today and although it would be nice to enter a full blog, it is a lot of work.

Addendum at 7:25 p.m.: It's been one of those halcyon days ... except for the wind. Posted "Mauve Mavis"  as a separate r/r item and mentioned that it is for Mavis Moog . I also moved "The moon is blue ice"  elsewhere after 16 reviews. Oddly it was rated 4.7 by women and 3.8 by men. Usually not that great a gender split in my poems.
