Abducted On the Bridge

My spirit has been weeping for days
Yearning for a quiet place to stay
To hear strong words of wisdom
That will empower and nurture my wounded soul
The night's are not silent and the days
are rambunctious and noisy 
people wandering up and down the treacherous bridge
faces as hard as ice and clenched fists positioned to fight
Nature is crying from within and the tempestuous wind is bellowing
The unapologetic  moon peers deeply into my injured soul 
unraveling the  sordid  mystery and radiating a furious energy
I am feeling sad but not confused I am kindled by own fire
parched from within and something stronger than I 
is beckoning to come in
I watched the  unruly crowd march about in droves 
waiting for the command to execute a devious demand
I am locked down in deep  sorrows nothing amuses me 
I am stifled by the negative energy around me
Cars and trucks going in and out 
Buses and trailers blocking the roads
and people pretending to be working but walking about 
spreading toxic energy in the atmosphere
I escaped onto the lonely bridge
watching the moon burying itself
under the thick night cloud and 
its glares disappears  without echoing a sound
The planet  slowly swept over me 
and without warning something powerful abducted me.

Very creative and deep. Like a poetic sci-fi movie that leaves us hanging and wanting more at the end.
