WEATHERED BRIDGE

a wooden bridge waits weathered by forgotten rains— still it carries me. between the known and the new I hear its whisper: go on.

I like the faded black and white that looks antique in the photo. Your thoughts about it depicted in the tanka are deep and somewhat eerie. Thank you for sharing it with us. Sara K
