Bridge of Trust

Friendships and communities take decades to build. They take a much shorter time to dismantle.

The essence that holds them together? Trust. It is what bridges people, but oh, can be shaky. And yes, it requires our senses to navigate. Cross the bridge with me.

πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰

Footsteps ring on planks smoothened by time,

Steel cables buzz, tightened by unseen rhyme.

I see the overcast sky, veiling the sun,

Taste the hope in the air, fears come undone.

Hands hold the rail; trust, the battle won.

πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰πŸŒ‰
