Burning Bridges

 

 

 

Bury the long dead past let bridges burn behind 

Bounty what life holds be cherished full in kind

Nothing stays forever in  rapid passing of time 

There still be choices to relive your lost prime.

At the end somewhere will be a beckoning light 

Ridding built up solitude to future  shining bright

Changing Paths

Path deemed distinctive

Odds proved enormous

from humanly supposed

 

All possible had a shot at

for unviable to come true

 

Now logic takes primacy

The Ride

Old sense of exhilaration

for the spirit to soar free

 

To be one with elements

on an aimless kind spree
