Looking back I see
In the distance bridges burning
Knowing now
There will be no returning
The departures
Of the past
Have left behind the shores of
Where our bread once was cast
We all must go
Into the future
Nothing stays put
It's just the law of nature
The power and prestige
Of all our yesterdays
Won't count for a thing
Going along this new way
The very best
We all can, and should do
Is help one another
Make it through
So let the damned
Bridges burn
And move ever forward
Where new life awaits, around every next turn
I agree with Patti, and to your poem I say Amen. Great work.
' So let the damned Bridges burn And move ever forward Where new life awaits, around every next turn ' Be careful not to burn them all Smoky, Someday you may have to return, , , , good write
You tell them Smoky! If you ever burned a bridge in your life- you of all people- I'm sure it desperately needed burning.
