You told me one night you had conquered the rift <br />And if I looked outside I would find your gift <br />So I looked outside and stared in awe <br />At the magnificence that before me I saw <br />A bridge that spanned across the sea <br />A bridge that you had built for just for me <br />A bridge that shone beautiful in the night <br />A bridge of silver spun silk glowing with celestial twilight <br />As if the spiders had spun it at your request <br />And the stars suspended it at your behest <br />Kept aloft by the stars you captured to light my way <br />So beautiful and luminecent I almost wanted to stay <br />But on the other side of this remarkable connection <br />Is a gem that that you have waiting for my collection <br />My eyes are beholding something impossible to concieve <br />Someone creating something so wonderous for me is hard to believe <br />My eyes fill with tears at the wonder my eyes behold <br />Stars shining reflecting off the silk in bright silver and gold <br />My tears shine like diamonds under the full moon <br />As my heart swells from your heartfelt boon <br />I begin my journey across the sea and stars <br />To find you waiting with open arms <br />I am lost in a moonstruck wonder a silent reverie <br />Pondering why such a magnificent person is deserved by me<br /><br />jen capaldi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bridge-that-was-built-for-me/
