Six Bridges

The road that led you to this bridge I’ve only seen in dreams
While the holy lands you’re seeking hold no meaning for me now
Though together here and now we’re headed for our destinations
We have our own desires and our separate fields to plow

You’ve drank your fill of water that I’ve had no chance to sample
You’ve never been to fields and hills I know and love so well
As I grasp the situation it’s no longer a surprise to me
That my perfect heaven might be bordered on your private hell

On another day I find I’m on a bridge without somebody
With crumpled bits of faded maps could not complete the trip
As I look below she looks up and our eyes meet for a moment
Like good-byes unsaid as someone climbs aboard a sinking ship

My journey started far beneath the laden sky of winter
When you arrive the blinding sun has turned the grass to brown
Though we understand each other we cannot believe the stories
Where I hear rhythmic music you cannot discern a sound

Water flowing freely falling far below the bridges
The vast expanse of sky reflects in quiet, silent pools
Harsh and uninviting beauty dares, demands appreciation
Jagged rocks and reeling heights hide countless, priceless jewels

Still looking for a bridge across a canyon undiscovered
In dreams I’ve found and crossed it in my surest, quickest stride
With open eyes and eagerness I lack only direction
I’ve been near before but then I only thought to hide
