A Bridge Is Required Poem by manaswini dash

A Bridge Is Required

Rating: 5.0


Birth and Death-
-two eternal truth of the Universe
Amidst them there is a big vacuum
recognized as Life.
Some has too small a life
whereas some has to pass a very long one.
Whether it is small or big
matters not much
What actually matter is to pass it.
for which a bridge is required.

For starting this great journey
Everybody has to put their first step
on this bridge as a child,
carrying with him
two big baskets of hopes and dreams.
Gradually during the journey
sorrow and despair entered the basket
making it heavier.
All have to bear its load
in spite of its heaviness.
No excuse of tiredness will be entertained.
Because on the other side of the bridge
death is waiting to receive you with a garland
The meeting time is predetermined - date, hour, second.
Neither you nor I can alter it.
Without a strong bridge it is really impossible.
So we have to make a bridge to pass the path of life.
It may be of relation and trust
or love and togetherness
But it is a must.

You have brilliantly depicted the truth..life and death! I identify the first four lines as the epitome of this beautiful piece of work! Yes, I absolutely agree with you that love and togetherness is the most key parameters required for leading a peaceful life! You have chosen the best title for the fabulous piece of poetry! I vote it with a 10

So we have to make a bridge to pass the path of life. It may be of relation and trust or love and togetherness But it is a must. Great philosophic thoughts nicely converted in an impressive poem.
