Our Beautiful Bridge and Futility's Wander

The arch of our beautiful bridge
white against the night
glowing in rain

a safety's traverse of all

lanterns on each pillar cast blossoms 
across the dew fog of resonating hardships
and now truth

you do not stand on either side

if I venture there
will the birds at least remember my name?

but no

futility's wanderings are a fool's ventures

We held hands for years...walked quietly beside each other
only talking when really needed
only falling into a lovers embrace on occasion

but we were a glorious bridge and the waters are deep swimming 
for us both
now
