River

suspension bridge closed

hanging from the precipice 

point of no return

butterfly wings from your heart

fly over valley of tears

Creative contest entry. I enjoyed reading this one today. I am thinking the bridge stopped suspended. I would not want to be hanging there. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara
