Many Bridges to Enchantment.

Paradise is but
a bridge away
for a composer.
Beauty is simply
a river or border crossing
for an immigrant.
Prosperity becomes complete
when it's bridgework for a dentist.
It's a drawbridge for an artist,
an a fingerboard for guitarists.
The gangplank is sweet
shore leave for the sailor.
A rope bridge is for all
who've reached the end of it.
A suspension bridge thrills
those who love mystery,
will it carry them
to peace or certain drowning,
A swing bridge sways for the
dancers and jazz players.
A toll bridge collects payments due
for the sinners facing judgement.
A marriage bridges joy for all
lovers joining hearts.
And for me it is the poetry I write,
it takes me to a
meadow-ed pond so lovely,
where I can ponder
all the world at large
in a shaded hat
amidst the hums of life.
