Bridge of Broken Dreams Beneath the bridge of broken dreams flowed healing waters in silky stream. Who among us hasn't had broken dreams at one time or other in their life, and so they could visit the bridge of broken dreams for solice and advice. A wise man that lived near didn't believe it fair that some had more broken dreams then others that visited there. So he would offer wise advice to those that seemed to have excessive broken dreams, and yet it was not only his words that consoled them, before he sent them on their way, for in a rustic shed upon the bridge, there were buckets of precious stones, and these stones contained the blessings to heal broken dreams, and they would work their magic when one was ready to cast them upon the silky stream. Those feeling destitute and alone could find solice casting a healing stone. For each stone that was cast, represented a willingness to let go of the past, and as each stone was cast into the stream they gave forth love and healing, acceptance and self-esteem, and finally one of the greatest gifts of all, the precious gift of new hopes and dreams.

James, James, James! You outdid yourself with this one! The entire poem merited quoting, however I have selected the following lines ~ "Those feeling destitute and alone could find solace casting a healing stone. For each stone that was cast, represented a willingness to let go of the past, and as each stone was cast into the stream they gave forth love and healing, acceptance and self-esteem, and finally one of the greatest gifts of all, the precious gift of new hopes and dreams." ~ Those are truly special stones ~ and I am in need of a couple myself.

James, This works well. I think that should be "solace", not "solice". Bobby |

Great poem, Robert! Like Linda, I could use one of those stones, myself. I can see it skipping like a gazelle over the mirrored stream! Ah, the beauty of mending dreams!  Thanks for sharing, Art |
