The gap widens –
the life I’d envisioned
washed away by current
reality – widening span.
I need a bridge –
expansive enough
to carry wishes,
to facilitate movement
of passing ideals,
allow for traffic flow.
Or a bridge to slow me down,
help me re-align, directing
me toward a new road,
encompassing change.

Two wonderful benefits of bridges that walls just cannot provide.

WOW-good, V.J….and if you build that bridge in Canada I’ll need a passport to get to it, of course. Worthwhile, venture ๐
