Emerging From Gray
A biting wind with broken teeth,
has left its blackened stumps
hanging from the limbs
of disrobed trees
A washed-out daylight
seeps gray.
The streets were bareboned,
greenery lusterless and scant.
Too sudden it seems, too
stark the change from
picturesque autumn and this
threadbare canvas.
A walk in the park confirmed,
my eyesight, my picturing
has changed,
today vision reflects a mind
drained of the light of elation.
Time to shake myself like a dog
emerging from darkening waters.
Time to change my climate,
open internal windows
and seek delight.
