The Bridge.
Soft, pink hand clasps dry and worn.
Sweet treble voice blends with low and calm.
Small feet dance round walking brogues.
Sun rains down through Oak leaves rustling.
Gravel scrunches, sprinklers tap, tap.
Whispering water across grass.
One squeals, the other laughs. One spins, the other claps.
One falls, the other cries out, feeling her pain.
So close the connection.
In the dancing shade, I am the bridge
Where two souls meet; my mother, my daughter.
Time, age. All an illusion.
The End
About Me
- Mywrite
- I grew up on the island of Tonga and in country Victoria, Australia. I write freelance articles, short stories and regular humourous online columns.I also write articles for lifestyle sustainability magazines. My credits include international writing prizes for short stories and poetry. My writing is regularly broadcast on national radio stations within Australia and I have a novella 'Ants Aunts and Funerals' completed and will, this year, have an interactive writing site set up. I love to write short stories featuring the lives of ordinary people doing slightly quirky, sometimes extraordinary and rediculous things and try to feature the funny side of life which can be found everywhere if one cares to look. My writing has been published in Australia in both print and radio media, in America and Britain. All work on this site is subject to Copyright. No use is authorized without permission of the writer.
