The Bridge

A chasm gigantic lies between,

Disbelief, incomprehensible than an abyss exists,

We began enraptured, enthralled, adoring each other,

Now we live as strangers.

Fear, bewilderment, doubts, Nimbus clouds floating in my mind,

Daunting questions nag,

Will we last, can it work, or is this the end?

Different places, different people,

I reach my hand into nothingness it seems,

Once tangible, now intangible reality,

Was any of what we shared real?

The feelings are surreal,

I want  to scream,

At the fool  caught in fantasy.

I search for invisible answers,

None come to mind,

Helpless, in agony with this question  in my mind,

 Will this love I knew die?

A bridge unconditional love I glimpse,

Fragile though it be,

I gingerly step on to it feeling, crawling.

Land I reach new, unexplored pastures wait,

I nibble, taste.

Unique individuals we remain,

Different paddocks we graze,

The fences once that stood gone now for good,

Unconditiional love  is the bridge for fragile love to grow again.
