Bridges (Poem) - Blogo 49.8 I am the Night


Bridges

I feel your breath upon my skin
Soft and warm within the night
Comforted by an eternal knowing
You are with me… always

Paths cross and we build a bridge
Exploring places we’ve never seen
Sojourners walk with us for a season
While others, will journey to the end

“Remember me”, I hear it said by many
While your face, remains my only memory
Early fires, left smoldering in the night
Turn to ash, scattering in a morning wind

You will always be my perfect love
The very breath in my life
Nothing can change the beat of my heart
No matter where the road may lead

DeAnna

  2. So few ever get a shot at the perfect pairing. That in itself is a treasure to hold... Speaking of a treasure to hold, this poem is definitely that.
