Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

The bridge of sighs

Living life alone
requires a sincerity of tone
a daunting prospect,
with no perks, it's a matter of destiny,
no opinions or preferences required
just sitting for hours by open fires
a  blissful state of solitude
with many blemishes
sincerity can be overwhelming,
bouncing words around my head,
listening closely to them instead
you're a long-time dead;
rely on your own judgment,
time is terryifying
so be forthright with yourself
be complicit in your own happiness
and cease upon the midnight
with no pain.

I hope you're well John, another thoughtful and reflective poem.

Much better for the sharing.
