Bridge





No beams or trusses
just a simple span of obstacles,

make-do suspension, stubborn enough to find a way,
woven one sleepless night at a time.

I take only memory, ditch the bangles.
Each step aches freedom, dreads narrow spaces.

I want to runbut sidle onfrayed ends exposed
as rope unravels, sways so violently I cry out.

Cavernous echo! I dare not look down;
fear the unknown, some great fish throat.

I hear your voiceand remember
this temporary means from here to there.

  4. Somehow, sidestepping the panic when it comes to bridging change, traveling through the undiscovered country, we need to harness our resolve, stay on task, complete the journey, find the harbor. Ronaldo has found the perfect footing, enunciation, pathway to your words, his voice in harmony with yours. I like the line /each step aches freedom, dreads narrow spaces.

    You practically channeled my life right now with this poem. Thank you for describing what I just cannot. I love this poem (she says with tears in her eyes).
