Bridges (Refined #1)

[peacejazzspirit]

Go over the edge
Or across the bridge.
The other side a mystery
Until you dare to venture forth.

A presence of those past lingers,
Like how Sonny's music soaked into the supports
And stayed there.
Curiosity beckons you forward; you decide to follow.

You take the first step, a cautious one,
Bearing your weight carefully;
The strongest things can give.
Will this be one of them?

Original:

Go over the edge
Or across the bridge
The other side remains a mystery
Until you take the first step

This masterpiece is special somehow
Where it leads may not exist
Terabithia?
Or somewhere stunningly real: A realization? A confrontation? Or the birth of a new beginning?

A presence of those past lingers
Like how Sonny's music soaked into the supports
And stayed there
Something pulls you forward and you follow...

You take the first step, a cautious one
Bearing your weight carefully
The strongest things can give
Now walk across
