Short Well Cross That Bridge When We Come To It Poems

fragrant pink blossoms
 mirror themselves in the pond.....
    bird songs cross the bridge...

under cover of darkness,
 
     yielding to inner instincts

we cross the bridge of no return...

Her eyes see clouds above the ridge
As if she soon might cross that bridge
But its a scam
She just wants jam
(The bathroom scales are by the fridge)...

Words have the power 
To enlighten and inspire 
Just lift yourself up 
And continue to reach higher 
Take those necessary steps 
In order to cross that bridge 
Build your foundation 
As you climb towards the ridge...

Bugs, Bugs
So full of hugs
 
Run, play
Sleep all day
 
Sun, moon
Stars in June
Singing to a lullaby tune
 
Cross the bridge now
You know how
 
Listen to the sound of the Loon
Count on me, I'll be there soon....

'Tis easier to cross the bridge
     than to swim across the river,
There is always an easier way
     to accomplish any difficult task
And nothing is impossible, when
     one is not too stubborn to ask!

END OF THE RAINSTORM



Bleary and menacing, crowding the sky, 
The dark wet cloths of night
Filled and brimming with teary eye
Blow now as dry morning-billows white.

As  I cross my bridge
They wipe clear the troubled blue void....

I see a bridge,
Where would it lead me,
A place of love or a place of pain,
Do I really want to cross this bridge or not,
I'm sarced,
What does this bridge I see in Front of me,
Will Lead Me,
I can only wronder or cross it and find out for myself.......

Someday 
I'll
fly away 

to
this unknown 
place

High
above the
clouds

I'll 
cross a bridge 

between 
the 
Stars 

Somewhere 
over
the Rainbow -...

How can you teach Poetry,
or breathe for someone else

Sharing what your soul has freed,
deep within yourself

Can you cross a bridge for others,
its toll not yours to pay

Squeezing blood from wounds long healed
—transfusion’s masquerade

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)...

How can you teach Poetry,
  or breathe for someone else

Sharing what your soul has freed,
  deep within yourself

Can you cross a bridge unbuilt,
  its toll not yours to pay
  
Squeezing blood from wounds long healed,
 —transfusion’s masquerade

Late 

     in life

          regretting

               my wasted years...

                    I cross the bridge to the warmth of her heart.

Batu Tulug near the bridge
In the small village people fish
In the river they cross the bridge
The white stone hill a heritage
There are coffins of the old dead
At the peak they are buried



I love you peace. Let’ sail together. Layag Sug!

We will bury our sighs and sorrows,
debts and owes, and all our borrows,
our scarlet letters all have seen.

We shall cross the bridge,
hand in hand, beyond the ridge,
leave angry tears behind.

If no one welcomes you and me,
we start afresh, clean and free,
and try again, and try again....

The Bridge

I know that you are there
Somewhere in the mist
Hidden by time
Existing only in fading memories
There is a path back to you
A bridge that I may not cross
So I stand and look
Wanting so badly to cross
Enter the mist of time
So I can try to find you
And my memories will become real
If only I can cross the bridge...

The clouds part to reveal the castle in the sky.
The castle of all afterlife.
This is orion encircled in light.
Sun beams dance on it's turrets of gold.
It stands alone in the vast emptiness.
It is circled by crystal blue waters and emerald green grass.
Chimes echo through the wind each calling out to me.
Cross the bridge to the castle in the sky....

Uncertainties of life 
How great thy events
That unfold.

With joy to make us laugh,
With pain to make us cry.

With dreams to be pursued,
Albeit so hardly realized.

Blessings in rhapsody
Come as special gifts. 

To be cherished and adorned
As sweet memories
 
That help us cross the bridge
And walk the ups and downs
of this blessed life....

Under wounded light
I go back in time.
Pushing up doubts
Like bottle corks,
Worming to the point,
Knowing not what I seek,
I cross the bridge I am building to who-knows-where.

The past parades around the present
As I stand with eyes downcast,
Forgetting to look to the trees,
Where freedom flows like raindrops,
And the answer awaits like the sea....

Listen to poem:

farewell
goodbye, my love
hearts welcome midnight skies
from beyond distant lands of infinity
the realms silenced of those crossed over
awaiting patiently with open arms
they welcome our fallen
goodbye, my love
farewell

Oh, My favorite song, 'Light my Fire!'
  Yeah!  My favorite too.  Takes me higher

I just hope they play the long version, you know
  I don't know.  it's too long and too slow

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, ok?
  Uh-huh.  Let's pipe down and enter the 'Door-way'

L-ove is the bridge between
A-lmighty's wrath and salvation; 
I-t makes you reach your goal, 
C-ompleting your sacred
A-ction.

A-im to build the bridge, 
M-onday morn February fifth; 
E-arnestly burn the walls, 
R-epair the cracks on earth.
I-nsecurities must be overcome, 
C-onvert ignorance into knowledge; 
A-mazing possibilities appear, as you start to cross the bridge....

Only those who've ridden recklessly,
towards the cliffs of 
I love you,
can reckon how it feels to fall,
when there's no bridge to 
I do too

When there's only air to catch you,
silence is oh, so very cold, 
as you tumble to the rocks below
and wish you weren't so bold

I say then, ride with passion
with abandon, without pain
ride with all the speed you can
and cross that bridge again...

A heaving, grieving mass of humanity 
All afflicted with the same insanity 
To cross the bridge in Brooklyn Heights 
For one square foot they impetuously fight 
What has caused this hopeless plight? 

Love of money and dishonest gain 
Is the root of their discontented disdain 
These days, without further detection, 
Are the last of imperfection. 

(Written when NYC had a transit strike in 1979?)...

Stare beyond her shoulder, long for more,
Capacity is reached, you pour more.

Hitchhiker smiles broadly, climbing in,
Seeking new horizons, it bore more.

Cross the bridge tomorrow, pull the blinds
Sewing up the lesion, it tore more.

Rubbing out the damn spot to conceal,
Sun succumbs to darkness, there’s four more.

Reflect on no return, feel time’s breath,
Transgressions stain your hands, but you’re more....

You built a bridge 
We met in the middle
It seems we went nowhere

Perhaps if I crossed over
Lived in your world
Maybe then I could see

Eat your food
Drink your thoughts
Really see what you see

You accept my invitation
Cross the bridge to my side
Your heart open wide


The next thing you know
Other people would flow
Going to and fro

A bridge to somewhere 
A route to become friends
People are people at both ends...
