The Monumental Bridge

Submerge me in your madness and drench me with your folly Expound your thoughts aloud and make your sentiments be known. I just could not resist this temptation stirring up in my blazing head captivating my guiltless thoughts and defying my audacious heart. I have crossed this bridge several times The bridge that spans over the universe The universe carved in a tea cup with many roads affix to its path. some did not know which way to turn Others too scared to venture on its trail Each time I journey on this bridge Something resonates deeply within Taking the residue from the raw air and confounds my searching heart. Wisdom is always at play directing me to go the other way and in the silence of my astute mind water flows harmoniously While the promising sun forces its way through thick trees scattering rays of hope upon my spirited head. Suddenly there was tranquility all around and I slowly emerge in another town Singing birds dancing about And barking dogs howling in the distant Water gushes over exuberant rocks created a symphony too loud for the morning news. I lie there in paradise bathing in the blissful moment Everything was silent just me and the happy birds answering each other and singing melodious tune together. The trees standing tall and strong holding up their powerful hands enclosed me on the river bed and strikes the looming burden off my forceful head I took a giant leap and finally crossed the monumental bridge. Multitude of pebbles scattered on the river bed awaiting the ceremony cheered passionately and embraced my hard earned victory.
