Bridges from Heart To Heart.
Updated on January 7, 2010
Bridges from heart to heart.
We build bridges
between our hearts
that touch
other hearts
and though
they are
often flimsy
and insecure,
we dare to
cross them
or meet in
the middle.
The path between
two hearts
can be downhill
and softly covered
in rose petals,
with the sweet scent
of possibilities
yet explored
perfuming the air
as you stroll
towards your destiny
to become two
hearts as one.
Or it can be
a dark and blind
stumbling place
where pain is
inflicted by simply
trying to bring
two hearts
together across
impossible barriers.
Sometimes these
bridges fail
though much
more often
they grow stronger
because of the
ties that bind,
and the connections
are always good
even if they
are only temporal,
for we
are expanding
our souls
with kindness,
and reaching beyond
the mere importance
of ourselves
to show concern
for like beings
to share love,
and all of its gifts
to others in
need of its access
but then there are times
we must burn
those bridges
and smear with
the ashes the words
"Never again!"
on the walls
of our minds...
this is all
part of the
crossing over
from birth,
to life,
to love,
and onto
death's
shore.
