Yesterday, while we were walking along the banks of the Barwon River, we passed under the historic Queens Park Bridge, so today’s Throwback Friday poem is quite appropriate; originally written in September 2021.
Lights Above Bridges (Revise)
Bridges span our invisible years
And carry our forgotten tears
Crossing over old hidden fears
Bridges are burnt over time
Years turn to ashes in an instant
And time is our only constant
Beyond the longest bridges
Under the oceanβs bluest seas
And above natureβs greenest hues
Loveβs pulsating Aurora nights renew

Such a beautiful trio of photos, poem, and song, Ivor! π
Bridges have always fascinated me! πI really appreciate them. π I have driven across, and walked across, many bridges…my fave is the Golden Gate Bridge. π
And, of course, when we has Human-Beans are positively connected by emotional bridges, in the journey of life, it is wonderful. “Like a bridge over troubled water…I will ease your mind…” – Paul Simon π
