A bridge stands between two shores
Between two lands, between two loves
A bridge stands between two sands
Between two hills, between mountains

A bridge hard to negotiate
Too hard to cross and track
Once the crossing begins
There will be no turning back

My Angel's waiting across this bridge
Awaiting my arrival, yet
I've lived my life for so long
In complete, utter denial

Wait for me my Angel
Please wait a little more
I'll be braver soon enough
To reach the other shore

Time is of the essence here
And not merely my love
My dreams forming forever more
Lord, please help me from above

Then the clouds begin to open
A stream of light shines through
My heart beats even faster as
I'm runnin' over to you

Thank You Lord for giving me
The chance at it again
The love and kind existence
With my Angel hand in hand

A bridge stands between two shores
Between two hills, between mountains
A bridge stands between two sands
Between two lands, between two loves

A bridge.........
Stands tall........

Akos, I am blown away at how fast you can just come up with these. The words and the image fit together very nicely. I love the effect on the image and the composition creates a sense of haunting. Very, very nicely done!!! I love it!!

Very nice effect. Being an engineer, I appreciate both the image and the words. Both are awesome and very well done. :cool:

Akos, the photo blew me away when I first saw it. It really gave it a bit of intense mystery.

As for the poem, I like that most of the stanzas are rhythmic but you lost me a little on the third stanza as it didn't carry the same rhyme pattern as the others. Everything else was very magical and brought me deeper into the scene.

Your words and images are certainly powerful, Akos. Very beautiful piece of work.

Something to consider for your next one - it could be even more powerful if you use the same rhyming scheme in each stanza. My thoughts are the same as Julie's on this point. When you use consistent meter, it enables readers to achieve a comfort level because we "get into your groove" with you.

And when we're all in the same groove, then we rock :)
