Burning Bridges Poem by Smoky Hoss

Burning Bridges

Rating: 5.0


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

Far better than burning our bridges, before we cross them. A very thiughtful write and a great philiosophy This one is a keeper

You tell them Smoky! If you ever burned a bridge in your life- you of all people- I'm sure it desperately needed burning.
