The Bridge Within

Today I'll create a magical bridge that spans from here to there
One that beams and beguiles with an abundance of care
It calls to me softly, but I do hear it say,
"Come on, sweetling - today is the day."
It glimmers with colours I have never seen
It stretches before me, my ultimate dream
It sings a sweet song, a beautiful sound
It hits in my heart with an arrow profound
I take one step forward but to my great surprise
I have moved inward, no tricks and no guise
My beautiful bridge has paved the way
To a realm beyond now and what's normal, they say
A place my soul knows and feels right at home
The place of my dreams, heretofore unknown
"Oh my! Who knew?" I squeal in delight
All my life, I looked outward for the ultimate song
When my power, my strength, was within all along.
