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.
