Broken Bridges

by Blank   Mar 8, 2019


Why does it always seem that my life is a long bridge?
With each occasional stops, sightseeing memories, and remembering nightmares. Keeping me back, but eventually I slowly move forward.

A long journey, hopefully to reach land.
Where my loved ones wait, knowing I'm coming, giving me hope.
All I need is one person to stand there.
And I will continue my journey,
But I fear a no one is there.
Should I just turn back?

But I can't... I'm stuck.
Both sides have broken, and fallen into the abyss below, what dares lie down there?
An open abyss, yet a closed coffin.
I can't reach across to safety.
The jump is too far...
Someone, extend their hand,
Reach out for me
Don't let me fall,
Please.

    ... then sun rays
    filter through, calming my mind
    filtering the chaos, until
    step by step I walk
    in peace
    to the other side
