"Crossing Burned Bridges"


“Crossing Burned Bridges”

cji
4/23/16

Forced so to walk and crawl
the trestles no longer stand
burnt long ago in the wars
gaps and rivers still there
high cliffs and charred wood
dropping a 100’ to begin
posts to reach and hope
timber to timber across
till the other side found
100’s of feet to climb
many falling in the gap
unable to endure crossing
too difficult – giving up
succumbing to the world
crossing burned bridges!
