I Like Bridges

The great thing about bridges
is their timeless requirement satisfaction
a crossing point
for otherwise impossible
transition transaction
an easy passage
from here to there
a walk through the air
ancient or modern
spanning tide or stream
a civilized dream
that lets us connect
making life simpler - more direct
carrying us - effortlessly
from one side to the other
happily by either
suspension or arch
cantilever, bow-string or beams
a way across
to the far bank's dreams
