Deep Thought: The Bridge To Bliss

THE BRIDGE TO BLISS

I saw you from a distance, reflected wet surface below;

Guess you must serve a purpose, something God would only know.

So, just what are you doing here, daring me to cross;

You sure look alluring, I must admit, my words were at a loss.

Purpose without equation, deep meaning to crossing streams;

Is this a new beginning, could this be what it seems?

I started walking circles, pondering to scratch my head;

Trying to figure out what to do, where would I make my bed?"

Things weren't changing over here, what's really over there;

A new type of existence, is it really worth the dare?

I said a prayer, taking first step, stepping stones that paved the way;

Onto the bridge, I progressed, I thought, "This will probably take all day!"

At midway point, I stopped for a look, at the flowing brook below;

I could have jumped off in a second, no one would ever know!

So, forward I continued, as curiosity drew me near;

I felt so at peace right then, no trace of fright or fear.

And finally I reached that last step, landing firmly on solid ground;

"What did I just do", I thought, "Maybe I should turn around?"

Then suddenly a feeling came over me, a voice came in the air;

"New life for you my son", I heard, "New Love for you to share!"

And there before me she stood, so beautiful...just like a dream;

She said, "I crossed the bridge too, we are his chosen team."

I reached and touched her hand, then caressed her face;

Only God could have brought us together, in such a lovely place.

She smiled in agreement, as we held an extended kiss;

We both made the trek, God kept his promise,

We both crossed the Bridge To Bliss!
