Bridge Spanning My Mind
Bridge Spanning My Mind
There’s a bridge spanning my mind,
it leads me to you,
whenever special memories,
come flooding back.
Whenever I think I can,
still hear your voice,
coming from the years past,
it brings back memories –
that forever last.
There’s a bridge spanning my mind,
from which I can look down,
to see turbulent waters,
with waves crashing below,
in times of trouble,
knowing that sunny days –
will soon be on the way.
There’s a bridge spanning my mind,
that I walk whenever I miss,
the ones that I loved the most.
It never lets me slip or fall,
over the years that have come and gone,
this bridge just keeps expanding,
stretching as far and as wide –
as my memories will allow.
First I’m crawling then walking then running,
life rushes past,
like you can’t imagine,
even in your wildest dreams
and it makes me breathless.
Then it’s good,
to stand once again,
on that bridge spanning my mind,
sparkling in the sun –
with golden thoughts and memories.
I see you somewhere,
along the way,
waving to me –
as you get farther away.
I know that someday,
I’ll catch up to you,
there over the rainbow,
when that bridge,
spanning my mind,
comes to an end
and I find myself
in the world beyond,
over the rainbow –
where the bluebirds of happiness fly.

Sometimes I fear for your muse, as the subject of love may be not be finite in and eternal ideal, yet writing about it maybe. Your work is always classy and well structured, but personally I’d love for you to extend your subject matter and push your talents further. I personally find coming up with new takes on poetry most rewarding, and I feel the same would give you a lift in inspiration. Just an idea! Cheers!
Thank you Tony and for your suggestion. I will keep it in mind.
Your poem is lovely, Rasma. I like the metaphor of a bridge spanning the mind. The line: “there’s a bridge spanning my mind” appears too often to achieve a Green SEO, since your keyword is ‘bridge’ (I changed it from ‘bridges’ which is not in the text or title). I left some suggestions in notes on your post’s edit page. Take care, dear poet.
Thank you Phyllis.
I agree with Tony. You have a unique style that is very enjoyable to read, I would love to see some form of different subject matter from you I bet you would exceed even your own expectations. This by the way was a good piece. Thank you for sharing.
You welcome Paul and yes, I am going to consider all the suggestions.
Rasma, this was wonderfully written as always. Those who advise that you should try writing some different subject matter should read: “The Short Career of a Serial Killer” one of your earlier posts here. It is brilliant and I recommend it.
Thank you John.
