Bridging The Gap

Folder: 
Learning from the Past

I am at a precipice
between the past
and the future.

 

The bridges I've crossed
have burned down
behind me.

 

The path ahead
is marked with doubt
and obstacles.

 

I steadily make progress
leaving in my wake
the scent of smoke.

 

I remain with the reminder
that once before
my eyes watered.  

Author's Notes/Comments: 

"We cross our bridges as we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke and the presumption that once our eyes watered."

 

- Tom Stoppard's "Rosencratz and Guildenstern are Dead"
