] Date Posted: 11:22:04 01/16/08 Wed  I See the Bridge Long ago when I was small I rolled in sweet grass and picked daisies. I skipped down the street without fear of falling and ran up the stairs never stopping to catch my breath. The Bridge was far away. I grew to be a young woman and forgot about the grass and the daisies. Life was calling me to fall in love and I did. A family was born and grew and I forgot about the bridge until one day my Father died. I looked out the window that day and realized The Bridge was getting closer. Then my children’s little ones were born and our family grew. Life seemed to be starting all over again I was so involved with new life everywhere until one day, one misty day while fixing my hair in the mirror a vision floated in the background a vision of the bridge with footprints of those who walked across soft impressions on the dust reminding me. And so I try to live each day with “Yes” on my lips making memories, making time to love to pick the daisies that can only smile so briefly and promise not to rush this life away because I really do see the Bridge.

Date Posted: 13:32:14 01/16/08 Wed Wonderful sentiments in your verse. It's funny how everything seems so much further away and so much bigger when we are younger. The world seems to shrink as we mature. Your poem left me feeling like it became a part of me while I read it. I like when that happens. thanks, andy [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 14:12:08 01/16/08 Wed Hello Wilo I feel that though you see the bridge, there is a life lived in the beauty of those daisies, and that is such a wonderful thing. Loved the soft reflection here. Max [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 21:17:34 01/16/08 Wed I absolutely love the metaphor of the bridge to life, reading this was like watching a time-span video, kinda like the ones they show on the weather from sunrise to sunset, that is how it felt... like i was almost a part of your life from the beginning to the close.. tis so very beautiful Wilopent, i love it much.

Date Posted: 13:42:52 01/17/08 Thu Dearest Wilo, Even as a non-believer, I love the image and idea of the end being a bridge to beauty. You always write with such beauty my friend, and always leave us feeling richer for it. Peace and love, Paul [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
