POETRY
BRIDGE TO INFINITY
During
a
dark,
silent autumn day
as the clouds hang
oppressively low, I
ride on horseback,
through a dreary
tract of countryside. As the shades of the evening draw
near, I am within view of a melancholic, dark bridge
connecting two small islands. This bridge is intact and
new. The clouds covering the night sky have turned the
color of the sea to dark blue. An intense luster at the
entrance of one of the islands blinds you. The luminous
light seems like portal, which opens up to another
dimension. The sea water is so still that at first glance,
it is difficult to understand if it is water or ice. Although
the ocean seems serene and peaceful, underneath the
surface are violent currents ready to whisk away anyone
who dares to defy them.
