Timeless
This eye does gaze
Peering into my soul
Should I pass beneath
Will I leave
Mystery
In my wake
Or will only silence
This weathered eye
Emit?
Should I traverse
Will my passing be
Worthy of note?

Your words complement the photograph very well... quiet, pensive and tranquil. This is a captivating write. Good luck with the contest.

this is completely lovely; it takes the ethereal quality of the photograph and gives a voice to the ferryman who is passing under the bridge, entering the mists.
