Bleak Rise of Day

in the briskness of this day i try to lose myself in thoughts of you just to find warmth there's a hush in the rise this morning as gray clouds hide the sun on a tainted amber horizon i can almost feel the bleakness beset the tone of this day my mind stirring like lost leaves trying to become grounded again accidental mishaps of roadblocks in the way breaking down i slip below it all watching crimson drops fall like rain streaming away like dreams on a distant course i am numb reaching like these trees upward my thoughts as bare as they

it's really horrible when we get a day like this, we feel down, nothing goes right, the robots are all red and it pours with rain and you have not brought your umbrella. Hope tomorrow is a bright, sunny wonderful day for you Sandy. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hi Sandra. OOh no is the breaking down part the bus? I hated when that happened always made me late. Cause you had to wait for another bus and when your late yourself you get stressed out, well at least I did. Hope things got better for you. Watch me be wrong about this then I will feel like a you know what lol. I got good instinct though. I shall see lol

i drive a school bus, and yes the radiator decided to give out all at once...i had a small break between the two schools, got a coffee and walked back over to the bus, it was slowly leaking fluid so i was watching and counting, as i tried to call them to let them know, it became a steady flow, i knew i was doomed and by then my start time was approaching...naturally they were later getting to me because of a wreck, and that same wreck tied up all the back roads, i got stuck behind a darn school bus and just kept losing more and more time...i was freezing and my fingers were numb by time the drive was over...

Thanks Tom. I laugh at it now. It was one of those already feeling sick and knowing something was going to go wrong because you could feel it. Hugs

Nice winter poem! I think you should add something to the last line. Thoughts of friends and lovers can keep one warm in the frigid atmosphere as you indicate in you work. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
