A Bridge Between Two Dreams

You must eventually choose the long lost dream, or to stay in the rut you are in. It may be dangerous, but sometimes it is worth the risk.

Im swaying on a bridge,

A connector of two dreams

I must choose to cross,

Or decide to remain the same.

A very unstable bridge it is,

Worn from time and neglect

Its barely even passable,

Without falling and losing both

The ropes are unraveling,

These rails are useless,

No safety, no protection

One false step and I lose

Should I remain here,

In this safe haven I call home?

My dream would go away,

My love, no longer there each day

If I were to cross, to be brave,

To take the first step and follow through,

And continue on to success,

What could bar me then?

The path may be dangerous,

But the reward is too great

I've made my choice,

I will fail or fall

As I take the first step,

The beams break under my weight,

I try to hold on,

But I feel I'm falling

In the midst of my struggle,

I hold my dream in mind,

And it, and she, gives me the strength,

To climb and take a step again.

I've made it halfway,

Only to repeat the same distance.

But I looked back, back from where I came

I remembered the ease, the peace

I felt a gust a wind,

Blow across my back,

Pushing me forward, to the goal

I turned ahead and pressed on again

One more step to take,

I can see her face

Smiling so brightly,

On this perfect day
