There is a bridge I know
It can take you from somewhere
To somewhere else
And back again
If you care to
As I suppose
All bridges do
But I am neither here
Nor there
About the here
Or there
It can take you from somewhere
To somewhere else
And back again
If you care to
As I suppose
All bridges do
But I am neither here
Nor there
About the here
Or there
I prefer to be centre-span
Leaning over the rail
While worlds at odds
Pass below and behind
Their conflict bridged
There I stand
The quiet observer
To tally the to and fro
Of lives and matter
On the move
Matters of both
Consequence
And no matter
And whichever mark I tally
Important or insignificant
Or just some passing fancy
It is all just so damn
Beautiful
