The Bridgekeeper

Bridge

The Bridgekeeper is my Lord.
The Bridgekeeper is my Love.
The Bridgekeeper is my long, lone friend.

He waits, relentless, statuesque, at the high tide line of the two worlds -
sparkling in fathomless, laughing eyes, the flame of countless stars.
Push on! – the fate of so many lifetimes impels you to this junction.

With tender gesture, fear of annihilation evaporates, mist lifts.
“I am in yonder void even as this lantern illuminates your path hither.
I am the keeper, I am the ocean, I am the bridge.“

The Bridgekeeper is my Lord.
The Bridgekeeper is my Love.
The Bridgekeeper is my long, lone friend.

But no worries – it’s only a ride after all
So hold on tight as we approach the big one
And don’t look down!

One foot in the grime, one foot in the Divine.

This vast country, famous for its rich spiritual heritage, with its huge population, has an enormous waste problem.
