Why i am no longer afraid of bridges

amazing...he was as i grasped his shoulder
white lights and cold steel swirled above my head
blackness shimmered under my feet
his hand never touched me
his soul led me
i stepped into him

Safe
how safe i felt in his presence
and Fearless
like a child at the top of a slide
staring down into the eyes of a father
"Come on" arms outstretched
"Don't be afraid" he whispered
"Let go"

i am suspended
here
on this bridge which is your soul
lights and sky above me
swirling air and gentle black current below
i let go my love
my hands are free
and i have slid down into you
