Rickety Bridge

And the heavens parted
As lightning laid down a victim
What a way to finish the year
At the precipice of a new beginning
Confused by the rivers flow
To cross you need a bridge
Or find an alternative way
But there is no time
That leaves only one decision
Cross the bridge
But watch out
Beware of the rickety bridge
It is full of cracks and traps and tricky steps
It is an outdated forum
That passes us through time
It appears to go both ways
But like time there is no going back
There is no rewrite
So cross carefully, gently and form as one
Raise your head and taste the vibrant air
Exchange flavors with the world
Sweet as life and better than death
A well deserved encore
The night darkens the sky
And the moon comes to battle
Fighting the sun
As the sun wants to last
And maintain it's radiance and glow
Sleep in peace
And safe travels
