It's a short walk across the bridge, a bridge which spans across a river. The river is wild, white caps and rocks, hidden falls and sudden rises. Tree limbs rudely spreading across the banks, waiting for it's next victim to try and pass on by. It's a hard high climb to get to the top, to walk across and see for yourself if it's a myth, or a truth. Tonight my heart is broken, I feel my mind is asleep, no words left to be spoken and the tears have all run dry. Tomorrow is a new day, the climb up the steep mountainside, won't be simple but neither will be sitting in a room alone save for the ghosts who are dueling within my mind. Turn on the record player, lay down the needle and listen to the crackling through the speaker's. Suddenly a piano begins to play and the brick walls are broken down, across the bridge you can see the past and all the visions they once held, now they are complicated memories and there is confusion among the inhabitants of this old broken down structure. The preacher stands upon an empty crate and screams in a sing songy twang. “It's all within you. Life will always continue no matter who comes and goes. Bring smiles and love, only love and cheer can heal this broken world. It's a beautiful world with billions of heroes, the heroism is what the stuff of the day to day is made of. Look within the living and you will find unsung heroes. Treasure them, embrace them and have respect for them. They are you. They are God.” In the distance there is a musical caravan of former circus performers. The accordion, the oboes and the lyres. The voices of angelic life pounding through the thick air, bringing bright light into this dark town. “Love each other, love conquers all." ©FtrainPublications 2019 #writerscommunity #authors #poetsofinstagram #poetrycommunity #writersofig #textposts #writersofbrooklyn #wordstoliveby #poetry #bleedink #art #poeticlife #writinglife #poetryisart #collaboration #freddyzaltaInstagram
