Lost Bridges

Artwork—Maryline Roux

Somewhere there must be bridges

away from walls that weigh

us down;

minds cluttered in silenced chats

hinder our breaths from shallow weeps


Some lives are being lived

in between waves

inside moments

caving in

under the strain.

 

Ancient riddles get solved 

to save old stories from being lost. 

Perhaps we live 

to see 

the lost and found of our inheritance. 

 

Unending times in search of open doors  

wonder if love secretly holds the key; 

we seek you, invisible ones, 

for your light—our only hope
