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!!!!
