Solace

i take no solace

from knowing this

the bridge spanning

the two banks

of the river is

a past that's

never gone

the river

flowing

underneath

overhead

the first

evening star

what purpose is there

treading atop the crossing

worn ever so slightly

in each passing

by the boots

upon my feet

stepping over

what's been before 

to the other

side where we

once stood still

the sound

of the unseen

water in the dark

forever moving on
