Bridges Across Time

A tangled web we weave

In fleeting moments of anger

We build what I call

Bridges across time

Endless efforts to secure

The very thing that we endanger

Leaves us breaking away

To keep our frame of mind

Fearing loss of independence

We’re quick to take a stand

Wounding ever fragile egos

One really must be kind

Suddenly it’s later

We’re walking hand in hand

Wandering through the years

Over bridges across time
