This is the kind of poems that really makes you stop and think. The title coincides well the poem. There is so much going on here with this. The metaphor is deep. I believe the persona of the person here is not what it appears, maybe the bridge is a dark and scary place to cross, but once you are on the other side the light shines through. Or another thing it could represent is the personality of a person, as in "you must take the bad (the dark) to get the good, (the light). This poem leaves the readers mind up to interpretation and that is what I love about this poem, the lines are short, but it holds complex meanings. 5/5
