This is a poem I wrote in Spring 2021…
…
I am bridge
Translator of sorts
Connector
Between two worlds
It’s hard being
Between two places
Never fully in one
Or the other
I long to walk
on the water
Swim deep
From shore to shore
Yet here I stay…
I am bridge
….
It’s hard being the one
To take the first step
To trust again
After being hurt, betrayed
By those I love
By strangers
By myself
And yet
I take the first step
My words
my speech
Create worlds
new realities
Majestic trees
flowing rivers
purest lakes
gentle places to rest
I take the first step
….
I allow myself to reconnect
To God, to Grace, to Knowing
that No One is perfect
To Understanding
that No One is worthy
except God Alone
my Eyes turn toward heaven
my Heart turns toward heaven
I Am Bridge
To Wonder
Curiosity
Imagination
…
Come with me
Take the first step
I am here
To walk beside
On this road less travelled
Let me be
a bridge
To the place
where hope is found
Until you find
This hope, yourself
When you trust in God
with all your heart
Step
by step
by step
…
Much love,
Ruth Renee ✨
