THE BRIDGE

hear the frogs croak
looking for a mate
birds singing in the wind
meditative calming state

nature embraces
sweet moments in time
alone with one's self
to the bridge I will climb

the red bridge overlooks
much greenery in calm
such peaceful moments
open hands to the palm

breathe in the purest air
painted path doeth take
lovely lilies in the pond
eyes open for mercy's sake

crossing over to the other side
last moments begin
say goodbye to the earth
death always wins

    Life and death are only a breath apart… and part of the same process. Lovely poem, Lisa.

    This is a very good poem, Lisa. The last stanza changes the entire idea and tone of it.
