across
that bridge
an ocean
met our bay
with tides of
rapture
caressing the
caisson.
roiling fog
merged water
and cityscape
to melodies of
wind on steel.
yearning and chill
held us fast:
distant
was the
road beyond.

To melodies of wind on steel, roiling fog...poignant characterization of this majestic bridge.
ReplyDeleteWow, Rick, I don't know which I like most, your stunning photo or lovely words. Together they are dynamite.
ReplyDeleteGreat poem -
ReplyDeleteas short but long as that bridge and that road beyond...
