Day 105 - Under the Bridge

Under the Bridge

The saying is water under the bridge

But what of she who stands on the ridge

Ready to fling into the open air

To feel what awaits her there

The hard as concrete impact

With no time to react

As you plunge into the icy waves

There will be the pain that saves

Your mind from the numbness you desire

When all the world is a blazing fire

Not a saving at all in the end

Only to demand a godsend

Of all the bad that brought her here

To giving all there is, so very near

But she stands and walks away

Biting at the cliche they say

It is not water under the bridge

When you reach the final ridge

Gesher Gadol - The Explanation

Yesterday we posted a poem titled "Gesher Gadol" which I am really excited about. A little explanation.. I was having a hard time coming up with the perfect title, but I finally landed on Great Gesher, because to me it really is about the crossings we make in life. In Hebrew Gesher means bridge. While discussing this with The Photographer I also realized that great/big in Hebrew is gadol. This excited me to absolutely no end, as many of our readers will know I am a true lover of alliteration and this poem's title is alliterated in both Hebrew and English and a mix between the two!

Alternative titles include:

Big Bridge

Great Gesher

and Gesher Gadol.

Hope you are all having a wonderful time doing whatever it is that you do.

Much Love,

Day 64 - Gesher Gadol --גשׁר גדוֹל

Gesher Gadol -- גשׁר גדוֹל 

Slow down darling it will zoom by

Here are moments that will not last forever

The picture perfect shade of sky

The times that we stand together

They have their limits though that is dark

Each distinct person will leave their mark

~

The road we take sounds so cliché

For every poet writes such verses

But there is brilliance in each day

When one truly immerses

Into the mystery love beckons out

Calling us to dance all about

~

The soundtrack of our lives is playing

As the montage of memories reviews

There are so many things it is saying

Swirling in so many fiery hues

This is just the bridge between times

Not even the completion of all the rhymes

~

Do not speed past or make haste

There is so much living to be done

In our wishes and eyes much is encased

Glowing like the setting sun

The answer we need not discover

As long as we stand with one another
