Bricks and mortar vs. feelings, and emotion,
Binding ties, suspensions cabling, connecting
Generational divides, blood stones legacy, uniting
Distant shores these are the bridges of emotional
Tides, a streams current flowing beneath our kindred
Souls.
Red cobble stone streets running downwards, 
To a fine points country road, from the cradle,
Unto the grave marker, these venues of relevancy, 
Merge the binding chains of reinforcement’s foundation.
Cohesion melting bolts secure, the rough edges of 
Traditions uniqueness of variations design, is a shifting
Earthquake zone, yet in beauty the grand
Vision holds fast together with loves divine, and
Tender care.
Hands extended across the ages linking us,
Photo albums pictures of black and white faces,
Smiling, memories legends passed from the spoken
Words remembrances, we are the total sum
Of all these special linkages.
Inheritances stepping stones of brilliance shimmering
Beneath the light of the eternal sun, elemental children
Of oxygen, inhaling, exhaling the vaporous air of generations
Long scene past.
Bricks and mortar vs. feelings, and emotion,
Binding ties, suspensions cabling, connecting
Generational divides, blood stones legacy, uniting
Distant shores these are the bridges of emotional
Tides, a streams current flowing beneath our kindred
Souls.

I am attracted by "the bridges of emotional tides", "Inheritances stepping stones of brilliance", "streams current flowing beneath our kindred souls". You give life to these bridges on which many past generations toiled. These are the bridges of our life. #7 // paul
