The Bridge

I feel you like a River...

By Tammy CastlemanPublished 6 months ago Updated 6 months ago 1 min read
The Precipice of change

Just as the world tilts forward:

Heart thud, gut drop

Breathing stops, pupils flare.

The Bridge.

“Meet me there.”

You said.

Head swims, mouth dry,

Earth shifts as I stand on

This side...

Nothing will remain

As it was before.

Time stops, water flows,

Dizzy as I look below.

One step will propel me

Into a future unknown.

I hear your footfall, waterfall

Twigs snap, no going back...

A few steps here to there

Across the planks and misty air

Into the mystery we will share.
