HE LOOKED NO MORE FOR BRIDGES

HE LOOKED NO MORE FOR BRIDGES

 

 

Blind prejudice had influenced tongues

and stupefied his deepest soul

no bridge bestowed his liberty.

 

With thoughts entrapped by indolence

he feared to die an unwept death

In winters darkened waters.

 

And with the spring the melt began

and sunshine bathed displeasures source

as rivulets began to form.

 

And soon the troubled waters churned

the dark obstructions now unmade

his angers bruises swept away.

 

When summer fountains reached the sky

the crystal waters met his gaze,

he looked no more for bridges.
