The Last Bridge

Sunlight illuminates the glass bridge

That hangs between dark green foliage

Two high, too delicate to walk upon

Yet I must take my first step.

There is magic calling

I feel it tingling against my skin

Each step releasing angelic music

The wind carries it forward

Teasing me to follow

Come see what lies beyond the last step

My feet now on solid ground

Yet the vibrations tell a different story

It snakes up my body, daring me to move on

Should I turn back?

I look over my shoulder

The bridge is no longer hanging there

I am looking at a solid block of dark green trees

My fate now lies ahead.

Here the foliage is soft, a warmer shade of green

A welcoming warm breeze

Washing small fears from my mind

A gentle voice telling me there is no pain here

We have been expecting you

Welcome to Shangrila…

    such a magical magical piece, so well written, so well delivered.
    i liked the turning back and seeing no bridge part with the only option forward, life is like that sometimes
