Are you still willing to cross the bridge?
It is like a wobbly bridge that bridges over swiftly swirling turbid currents.
Are you still willing to cross the bridge?
It is like a shaky bridge that bridges over a blazing, hellish, fiery gap.
Are you still willing to cross the bridge?
It is like a quivering bridge that bridges over a fathomless abyssal gorge of the unknown.
Are you still willing to cross the bridge?
It is like a tottering bridge that is moved back and forth by the winds of doubt and uncertainty.
Are you still willing to cross the bridge?
The creaking sound of the unlocked panels will make you feel paralyzed by horror.
Are you still willing to cross the bridge?
This bridge will cast into your heart an unbearable fear as soon as you lean on its rickety side.
Are you still willing to cross the bridge?
When the wind blows during the crossing, you will certainly find yourself under the tyrannic absolute sovereignty of the uncompromising forces of nature.
Are you still willing to cross the bridge?
The sheer height above the ground, as the bridge shakes, can make you pass away from terror alone.
Are you still willing to cross the bridge?
As soon as the bridge's wooden floor begins to crumble, your panic will multiply beyond imagination.
Are you still willing to cross the bridge?
It is a bridge that is only dedicated to every brave, resilient, audacious heart.
Are you still willing to cross the bridge?
It is a bridge that is only reserved for risk-takers and adventurous pioneers.
Are you still willing to cross the bridge?
It is a bridge that bridges over the perilous chasm between the lifelong Despair and the upcoming days' Hope.

I have crossed many bridges, turned many corners, climbed many hills and each one has lead to the wonderful life that I have had.

Thank you Andy for your inspiring words.
Your wonderful lifelong experiences can be a perfect example of a valiant believer.
A fine write Samer.
Thanks a lot .
Have a very nice day.
What's more perilous than that? Doing a 'wheely', one-handed, on a bridge that dangerous and high? And a child too with no helmet.

ok so usually I try to engage wholeheartedly with what I'm reading, but their is always an exception..
see I was in awe of that kid in your pic
(btw I find you always have a great image to accompany your write's)
anyway, so struck-dumb contemplating the diverse spectrum of 'life experiences': experienced, by those living lives beyond our wildest imagination,
and then I scrolled to read your first line:
'Are you still willing to cross the bridge?'
I shook my head, while mouthing 'no bleeping way, not that bleeping bridge'
and then I started writing these words..
forgive me, its a Friday and its been one of those self-elongating week's, lol
Thank you my dear brother for your comment.
In fact, I have tried metaphorically to describe the dangerous surrounding circumstances that encircle any new decision that we are about to take, when we are going to enter a new phase in our lives, that would lead us to new dimensions, away from our current difficult circumstances.
That is why I tried figuratively depicted this picture of a material perilous bridge.
A great metaphor, Samer. Every so often in life we arrive at one of these 'bridges' where going forward is scary, but just about every time when we arrive at the other end and look back, we are glad we crossed.
You are absolutely right Fred.
When we arrive at the other side of that bridge, we feel so glad because we have conquered our fears and doubts; besides, our deep trust in God the Almighty has produced its beautiful fruit at the end of this perilous bridge.
Thank you Fred for your very accurate and extremely insightful remark.
