Analysis of Bridges
Bridges,
We build from river sticks,
Lines in sands,
Idle bricks remain fixed,
Burn to the ground,
Ash and cinder,
Salted and Scorched,
It grows no more,
This labored landscape,
Can be deceiving,
A new bridge built,
Has lost all meaning.

About this poem
Bridges, simple but expressive. I tend to look at life like a fish tank, I watch them swim by and observe their lives from afar. Things I've seen and the people I've met have given me a overwhelming sense of personality traits and Bridges describes such an occurrence.
