We Have Crossed a Bridge

by Ashok Sharda

We have crossed a bridge
Stepping into no man's land
Leaving behind a future
The past reflects relentless

There isn't a place to go
Stuck up we are here, forever
Where space meets time
In the space of timelessness

Inapplicable are concepts in this land
Relative to human nature
Good loses all meaning
In the absence of evil

Light pours out darkness
Top and bottom stretch out bulged
In and out contract and retract
From nowhere to nowhere

Death dilutes in life
Neutralizing each other
There is no light here
There is no darkness

Boundaries defining concepts
Have all been thrown aside
There is nothing ahead
There is nothing behind

Destined to meet in no man’s land
Naked and devoid of any self
We frolic as pure awareness
Forever in the realm of nothingness

We have crossed a bridge Love

what an incredible journey... and to cross such a bridge that every person crosses at some point in their lives... this piece is beautifully written!

Good reminder that we cross many bridges during our stay here on earth, some personal, as in friendships and romances, graduations, others, more as a species, such as 9-11. I liked this line also: Good loses all meaning In the absence of evil.

Thought-provoking, as well as heartwarming. My favourite stanza - Inapplicable are concepts in this land Relative to human nature Good loses all meaning In the absence of evil.

The ultimate frolic - unburdened by self - bathed and engulfed in light. Human meaning irrelevant except as a temporal marker. Your poem flows - a deep river.
