Bridges
Before this weeks prompt, I had always thought of bridges in very physical terms i.e a structure that is built to ferry us across a little stream, valley or a body of fast flowing water. But on reflection bridges are much more than that – much more than physical structures. Bridges can also be emotional or spiritual ‘structures’.Over the years, I have mended bridges of friendship, built bridges of reconciliation, burnt (emotional) bridges and destroyed bridges of past baggage. I have crossed bridges to the unknown, sat on bridges of self doubt and been a bridge myself of trust, communication and commitment.
Indeed, the humble bridge is so much more than what it appears.
The Future I
My future beckons
From across a shaky bridge
I tread cautiously
The Future II
Your journey begins
Across it’s firm wooden planks
Walk with confidence

I really enjoy reading your thoughts and your haikus...
This is perfect, and exactly the kinds of thoughts I was having about bridges.
Lovely haiku :)
I enjoyed reading both of these. The word bridge is a powerful word.
I enjoyed these, especially the first one, I like the metaphorical take on the prompt.
You expressed life is such a poetic fashion. I enjoyed all your words!
Your reflection on bridges were spot on... thank you. Those emotional bridges are probably the hardest ones to cros...
