Waiting At The Bridge I’ll wait here for you, at the bridge. We’ve met here many times, though you may not remember. That bridge – the one we walk between the days, to cross the streams of sleeping, yours and mine. Oh, I have known you here already, felt your voice, but never heard the words of you, outlined you with my arms and felt your warmth if only that, and seen you sometimes through the water eyes of dream that fade with dawn. And so I wait here at the bridge and know you wait for me upon some bridge that is your own, reach for me with your arms of dream, feeling my voice, longing to hear the words of me, seeking my face before it fades into the dawn. And do we only dream? If we should meet, two strangers matched so close in dreaming, would we know, or would we pass unknowing, hopeful, waiting still?

through the water eyes of dream that fade with dawn. What incredible lines. *S* I'd love the poem for these alone... but the truth is, they're fitted perfectly into a marvelous whole. *S* And I'd like to think that the guardian angels would be on duty to trip one of you into attention before an opportunity passed by unnoticed. *S* Beautiful work! *S* |

Ed~ Oh man ! You KNOW how to build a bridge-of-thought~ 'I wait here at the bridge and know you wait for me upon some bridge that is your own' *gentle knowing smiles* *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Ed, this reminded me of a movie I saw with Meryl Streep in it. They met at the bridge a lot. I could scenes from that movie as I was reading. Very good writing, Sir.  Hugs, Ethel |
