The Bridge Above The Rivers Bend

Train bypassing just over the rivers bend Sturdiest and unpromising of bridges, carry my feet along your lumber Steal away the time I should be an honorable member of society Keep me as your own and offer me company as you do the passing trains Just before the sunrise do your wood beams greet the world, before those of the sun can Eerily so do your shadows beautifully haunt weary folk in moonlight But I stand unafraid and I walk along you, most enchanting bridge of pure delight Outstretched arms and heightened ground consume my presence Perhaps I will greet the river below, blow a cherished kiss And dream of flowing with her as the fish flow by and by Greeting all the places along the way I've yet to see Scheming of making way to connecting streams and many the woodsy place It is solely me now, guided under constellations and starlight One with nature you could say, and so then I am not alone I have met the river and jumped aboard, no more dreaming now Souring like a bird through endless currents of this waterway's love
