He found himself standing on a bridge

Not quite sure of just how he got here

Something on the map must have changed

Perchance, its markings weren’t so clear

Shadows falling, as the sun begins to set

The azure sky, was fading, much to his dismay

Perhaps, he took a wrong turn somewhere

Or maybe he was meant to find this way

Trying to soak in the last of the warmth

Taking a deep breath, from up there, high

Thinking, for once, he’s on top of the world

He threw the map, over the edge, and sighed

 

December Writing Prompt – Had the map really changed, or had he read it wrong to begin with? – Day 4/31

I have traveled many roads

Crossed many bridges, broken

And burned, by words, by actions,

By me, still, I travel over them

Stumble upon them, slip and

Even fall through the cracks

Yet, with each plank, each step

I learn, there will always be bridges

Waiting, to find, to cross, and to teach

Simple Passage

Among the twists and awkward turns

There is a still bridge that never burns

In life, this simple passage awaits

For your return, through an open gate

That never closes, never seals

You journey over, plans revealed

Taking on adventures, far and wide

Leading you, from deep inside

It carries you away, and lets you roam

Till once again, it brings you home

Stronger Together

So many bridges
Once crossed, once burned
So many lessons yet to learn

Branches of life
So grateful, so grand
Coming together, hand in hand

Carry us across
This great divide
Together, where we meet, astride

Grasp, we can,
These tethered ropes
To fill our lives, with love and hope

Make these bridges
Strong with heart
Let them never again be torn apart
