Go ahead
Push through
We are all riding
On a bridge made of glass
Suspended between
Mountains of circumstance
We spend our lives
Forging through.
Choices that we make
Set us free, or maybe
It could be that we
Are stuck in a trance;
Yet we have to be
Where we are.
Don’t look down
To the ground,
Don’t bother collecting
Things that would weigh you down…
Or you’ll fall while
Thinking that you
Have made it,
A break through?! Doomed!
A journey that we have to take;
Look around, lend a hand,
Share and care, help around
Other fellow travelers,
Remember the purpose
Of the trip, don’t slip!
Be aware of who you are.
The goal is reaching
Over to the other side
Humanity unscathed.
Going back to where we
Belong, paying dues
To our Maker, full submission
That is the mission…accomplished.
Looking back satisfied
At that thin Bridge made of Glass
And say…”What a ride?”

The picture is of the real glass bridge in China. I used it as a metaphor for the fragility of life. The journey we all have to go through, from birth till death; facing all kinds of perils and circumstances … and making all kinds of choices; yet we have to remember that life is just a bridge, a transition not a destination.

I like the connection you made with the journey of life and how fragile it is (hence the glass I’m assuming ).

You are right about the fact that rarely I’m online now. I have to be away from my home during the week days. I cannot be online during this time I am away; therefore I don’t reply to you right away.
When I come back I do reply to your comments right away.
Your opinion and your comments are important to me.. Please keep reading and sending me you comments. Thank you for your kinds Draga. Stay well.
