To Cross that Bridge
Author: AnnBrownWhispering in dark corners of the mind
Places the world has never seen
Keeping secret
And the silence, whose stillness denies
Where have you been
I saw a landscape, seems a hundred years ago
Green fields and towering oaks
So strong then
And this wilderness cut short by dark clouds
And raging flames within the soul
To cross that bridge
To stand on ground that does not quake
And shiver
To watch the earth move about you
Like you are delivered
To see the shadows in the distance
Move away
And breathe the light of day again
What would it take
To live this way again
What would it mean to rise above the weakness
In pursuit of new horizens
And this grief
Alone in its vial, forever a friend released
Only remembered
Those shadows that smile and mimic the truths
Of days no one will ever know
But you
Companions of familiarity and doubt in those hours
When the silence should bring you peace
To cross that bridge
And find meaning in your mistakes
And purpose
To know the world is an open door
Despite the form it takes
To see you have everything you need
Around you
Regardless of the time or place
What would it take
To live this way again
