The Bridge
by rebeccaMpells
You wake one morning and sense a change, a slight shifting of the sand,
a murmured whisper, the faintest touch upon your hand.
Was it the waking from a dream or the mourning of a death,
was it joy anew of passion found or the drawing of first breath?
Was it the void of emptiness or vast realm of possibility,
was it the final release or acceptance of futility?
With a backward glance I view the bridge where yesterday I stalled
until the night stepped forth and accepting as it called
I gave surrender as it carried me across.
I vote for the “passion found” and the “vast realm of possibility.”

Thank you Lorrie! It was one of those which kind of wrote itself – often turn out to be the best. Thanks for stopping by and Happy New Year to you too. 🙂

You mean the kind where you grab for pen and paper and just take dictation…? Yes! I know that kind…and they are the best 😉
Blessings for a super weekend 🙂
