Cast the Bridges

Cast the bridges that ply the bright seas
Sweeping proud ashes beneath its streams
They go past unnoticed with hazy bent wings
And cease not to lose their footing for the light they bring

Scalloped the fringes of silvered seas
Surging lace filigrees that unloose tight seams
Passing the marbled halls their veiled voice stays
And seals up all hallow canyons left by their waves

Loosed the moonbeams on all bare shores
Bringing new aligns to our poor peppered bites
By lingering light the heated wealth lies taken
And all peoples’ hoarded gain by revelation lies forsaken

Oh, you can't know how encouraging your comment, Robert! About six months ago I sent my work to professionals in a Poetry Society, and they did not like them! They wrote me screeds on how I ought to write poetry; I just cried and gave up poetry writing!!! I am writing a novel at the moment! So.....bless you for your kind comment!!!!
