a jester, foolish pride
a moment of Fate
just out of stride

growing ..... nearing the ridge

a gesture, taken wrong
a moment too late
words a bit strong
just a mistake

flowing ..... water under the bridge

hopelessness, hanging on
slipping through fingers
uncommon bond

staging ..... reaching the edge

uselessness, living free
everyday for you
one without me
life we create

raging ...... water over the bridge

when life strains, water never ends
hold the reigns ... for the river bends

One's outlook can be another's expression.

what a good write...just when you think you may have a hold on life...it twists and turns...and keeps going on, and we have to just try our best to hold on

for the river bends''''

the river does bend, and rounds each corners to new beginnings and flow....

and bear hugssss sir...always a pleasure to see you here!

is but a mouth pressed lightly and
humbly against the angel's hands.

Amazing. This is a truly wonderful poem. The imagery you used is fantastic, you have the perfect essence of a poem in this piece. Wonderful.
