Placing woodcuts side by side.
Thick ropes being tied,
Connecting the two cliffs of coming & gone.
I’ll cross over the river of sadness,
I cried.
Reaching the other side.

Such hope you share here....Crossing over from saddness,.building the bridge in the physical sense with your imagery you have made a powerful short write here! Excellent!

nicely done Noor
indeed-for
One must first wade up to their neck
in the river of sadness
To ever understand how to
wade in the brook of joy.

I like the imagery of this poem - the bridge connecting times "coming" and "gone" was a really nice take on the prompt and I'm glad that it ended with you reaching the other side!
Thank you for entering

This road of sorrow is so hard to travel but when we come to a fearsome and devastating chasm we do find the courage to build a bridge to cross one piece at a time.'s
