TIME STANDS STILL


 

 

The island calls to me.

It whispers my name.

The bridge sighs.

It weeps for me.

I walk across.

It wobbles to and fro.

I hold tight to its ropes.

One step gives way

And then the next.

The sides unravel.

Time stands still.

I fall.

Icy water hits my face.

The silence surrounds me.

My goodness! How does one even test a footbridge like this? I would probably be the one engulfed in "Silence". Excellent write!

Love ya!

JMS Bell,
I found the picture on Tumblr. I gave credit to the source beneath it. I would never cross a shaky bridge. I'm a pessimist. I would only see myself falling.

YOUR PICTURE LOOKS LIKE A PHOTO, SO, I'M THINKING THIS BRIDGE ACTUALLY DOES EXIST SOMEWHERE. NEVER, WOULD I EVER...CROSS A BRIDGE THAT LOOKED LIKE THIS AND YOUR POEM JUST SOLIDIFIES THIS FOR ME. THANKS FOR THE SHARE, SUSANNE. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
