With all
The journeys
Life leads
Us on,
We’re bound
To circle back
To roads
Once traveled,
That we never
Thought
We’d see
Again.
When we
Find ourselves
Unexpectedly
In a place
Once so well known,
But now
Almost
Completely forgotten,
We’re going
To need
The bridges
We left behind.
Our instinct
Will push us
To burn
Those bridges
As we flee.
Leave no way
For the enemy
To follow.
Buy us time
To run
To the freedom
That at the moment,
Looks so tempting.
Fight that feeling!
Don’t burn
Those bridges.
They could
End up being
The only
Way back
To a place
We might
One day
Miss so much
That we’d do
Almost anything
To see again.
Life rarely
Makes sense,
But it seldom
Appears logical
When we’re
Running
For our lives
From a future
We fear
Won’t fulfill us.
Trust me
When I tell you:
Never let
Those bridges burn.
While it’s
Always possible
To rebuild
Anything
We’ve destroyed,
Time is never
On our side,
And what’s new
Is never
The same
As what was.
Run if
You feel
It’s the only option,
But leave
The bridges standing.
You’ll need them again
When you come to
Your senses.
Follow me on Pinterest. I won’t throw you off a bridge if you don’t, but you’ll miss out on so much…
Nice sir.
Thank you. 🙂
yes, good point –
how is it that you nail pretty much everything most of us are thinking or feeling??? are you santa? thanks again.:)
It’s a gift. 🙂
Where are you? No blog for two days r you ok
Wednesday was a planned day off to recharge the battery and let the creative juices flow unencumbered.
Last night, I was a little under the weather. I was curled up on the couch with a big bowl of soup and some ginger ale, trying to fend off the nasty stomach bug that’s been rampaging through the office.
Thanks for noticing I’ve been gone. 🙂
I’m going to disagree with you on this one. Chronic cheaters, liars, physical/mental/emotional abusers- nope. If you had been in the relationship I was in, you’d torch that bridge and destroy any road remotely near it. Sometimes you definitely need to burn that bridge and never look back.
Sounds wise!
