you can’t expect something
for nothing just like you
can’t rebuild an old bridge that
has burned down
surely a new bridge will be
constructed where the old one
stood and it will be sturdier and
stronger than the last
and no matter how hard you try
you’ll never be able to cross over
that old bridge as it returned back
into the nothing from where it came
still the scenery remains to remind us
the trees dancing on the horizon
the hum of cool water rushing below
the song of the sun setting on now
as we cross that new bridge to the other
side where we’ve grown so comfortable
in the certainty of not knowing anything
except that everything we love must
return back to nothing to give way
to a better, stronger love
