| Bridge of Days Past Standing above the now sluggish river two lonely concrete piers bear witness to the bridge which once existed here joining two sides split by the river�s kiss Stone frame once spanned this water allowing items to flow across the bridge bringing life�s necessities and pleasures enriching both sides beyond solitary states The river looks peaceful and harmless now but the banks tell a much different story etched with the deep scars of floods past warning that this river can easily destroy A deluge made these slow waters rush turning the gentle river into a brutal force which swept pieces of the bridge away making it uncrossable without repairs Now the bridge is gone, abandoned our hearts and souls no longer linked nothing flows across the river here now only the haunting remnants remain The pure waters of passion and love once ran crystal clear and strong here but the greenish rain of jealousy and muddy water of lies flooded the river For a bridge to last and stay strong it must be kept up from both sides each person repairing any damage done by floods and other ravages I could not rebuild the bridge by myself I tried to after the flood and waited vainly hoping she would return to help but she chose to abandon the bridge Only the concrete supports still show that once a bridge of love stood here occasionally I pass them and wonder does she ever see them and think of me Copyright � Shadowy Poet 2000 Main Page |
