The Bridge Ahead

If water equals emotion,
then why do I have this notion
that the flooding will soon subside?
I’m at the beginning of a ride
that leads across the bridge ahead,
my path to the other side.

My mind prefers the illusion
that time will dispel confusion
as I trod unfamiliar ground.
But yet, there’s a dense fog all around,
enveloping the bridge ahead,
concealing to where I’m bound.

Perhaps, the air that is chilling
is needed to make me willing
to traverse where I cannot see.
At times, the NOT knowing is the key
as you approach the bridge ahead
that leads to what’s meant to be.
