Bridges



We came for whatever cause or purposes
Our hearts and minds may have entertained

Our motivations, whether sure or not, so much so
Created a path from which we launched our dream
Even when clouded with uncertainty.

We made Choices.

Taking our every known and unknown
To a higher plain responding to our inner voices

As patterns of reason, might suggest

Baring our hearts, our being expressed/exposed

in hopes that our efforts will bring
Some sense of satisfaction and hopes
Our resources are not wasted or taken, in vain

We dream when our spirits are pure
We see our life Like a clear day

Where we can see far beyond ourselves
Feeling in another way a happiness
we do not own

Enabled/share, build confidence sense,
not alone

How can we ever hope to remain Unchanged?

When, the realization begins to materialize

We want something more,
than just a shallow feeling of being self-satisfied

that may be why we aspire to focus
within our hearts/our minds

To build bridges within we extend our emotions
even though, it may bring a loss

To cross to another side of what we are

To merge our consciousness, identity
Freely and fully, blending the will and intent

Of our courses with others even as the love
That's flourishes inside strives to be made whole

By means of small sacrifices, to show cause
As we live and we grow with each earnest desire

As we aspire to climb
to whatever sense of heaven
Our heart beats for

we build, trust in each particle
Of energy expended towards our goals

Our spirits flow a step further,
seeking to be complete.

Although, we may not know, for sure
How each gesture may be received

We each, make our presence known
As shown, with a gravity displayed in subtle ways,

Shown, even when we choose to remain anonymous
Without much doubt our hearts have spoken

Familiar yet, each one, unique if we approach each other impartially, as another sovereign entity

Hoping to make a statement
to complement, as opposed to merely compete

To build from within
passages that are reaching
To the other side to bring us hope.

 Even, as these Circumstances
allow sorrow to remain

we use faith
As we build, from our intentions
and receive inspiration in parallels,
of patterns we recognize.

To find our gain
viewing the whole
our new horizons

Even if, just a silhouette is what remains
Once the river is crossed
