I'Ve Crossed That Bridge Before

Planning on crossing over where footprints of night are ne'er seen... There fish are spawning in clear blue stream ~ Surrounded by verdant green; Nature begins speaking to me. An antiquated chine-wood bridge gracefully arches it back with sturdy braids makes a path ~ That I may cross to a place serene Where nightingales and crickets sing It's a place where I do my thinking Unafraid to shed my skin ~ by dusk as honey bear I may roam, by dawn take flight as an eagle I may be found soaring toward home. Upon opening mine eyes I come to realize the colors of the skies Yes, I've crossed that bridge before

Thank you for sharing this poem with us. Especially now when winter's grip is tight, we should more often think about spring and summer, another bridge to cross... Keep your pen flowing and thank you for your kind comment on Rescue of Dreams...Have a good time...Gert
