The Bridge

By (Gypsie) Ami Offenbacher-Ferris

Response to WordPress.com Monthly Word Prompt – Bridge

A very long and delicate bridge
hangs airily between us
With a gate it’s hinges set and strong
No other may enter here

This gate is most odd you know
it’s workings like no other
allowing you to enter as you wish
and exit just the same

The gate can open just one way
it keeps me bound within
Allowing you to enter here
forbidding I go there

I pray this bridge is built to last
it’s tethers remain true
As I wait and dream of the day
that I can leave with you
