Love Poem: Gray Arched Bridge

Gray Arched Bridge

Arched bridge across the pond
Inviting to cross into a dream
A dream of seeing the reflections
Of the beautiful weeping willow

Gray bridge do I dare cross
Over to the other side to meet
My love, the love of my life
The soul mate for which I long

To sit close to him reaching
Into the pond and feel the lilies
Soak in the color..wedding white
With velvet green leaves

Should I stay, waiting for him
To call to me, then cross over
Your sturdy boards that are gray
From time and many crossings

Listen I hear my love
He calls arise come my love
Come refresh yourself from life
Feast on the beauty of lilies

Go I must into the dream
To refresh in his love my king
