Blue Bridge... that's the name I chose,
I stand beside it as the traffic flows.
I gaze up high where the sun climbs bright,
Casting shadows, warm and light.
Like a stove, both hot and cold,
Uncertain stories left untold.

Everything's close yet feels so far,
The distant gleam of each passing car.
A flower blooms, a dandelion spreads,
A blanket of white atop green beds.
Thousands upon thousands fill the grass,
A quiet moment, stillness vast.

I look to the sky—purple, pink, and gold,
In colors warm, yet stories cold.
A bird flies up to a tall, tall tree,
While I stand here with what I see.
A little chick takes flight, so small,
Vision blurs but I still see it all.

I hear my name, I look to find
A pair of blue eyes, soft and kind.
I step toward the bridge and glance below,
The world beneath in a steady flow.
Cars of blue, yellow, orange, and white,
All racing by in morning light.

By a waterfall close, a duck swims near,
And laughter echoes sharp and clear.
The clock reads nearly 7:35,
Children run, alive, alive!
I watch a boy, perhaps age seven,
In a moment brief, a glimpse of heaven.

Everything's bright, yet shadows lie,
As leaves drift down from trees up high.
Branches bare, so open, free,
Left in their quiet vulnerability.
A chick tries wings, a bee seeks bloom,
And spiders weave through nature's room.

This world is pretty, bold and bright,
But what's the most beautiful sight?
