Secret Bridge

In my dreams I often see bridges!!

I cross some effortlessly.
I cross some sedulously as though each step would mean life.
I  walk through a bridge in a hailstorm, only to end up in a perilous path on other side.
I cross the tiny wooden bridge, not knowing the wrath of gushing waters.
I cross the large steel bridge, with crystal clears waters flowing below.
I walk on the bridge and freeze midway, not knowing which way to take.
I cross some vociferously laughing, swinging on those hanging bridges.
I cross some blindly, sometimes there is no visibility of what next.
I look down the bridge, to see how deep and far the waters below are.

Some bridges I just sit in solitude, when crossing gets exhausting.

I wave good bye to my loved ones, they warn; this is not an easy one to cross.
Lest, I take a leap of faith, encountered by giant waves, trapped, no where to go.

I chant a silent prayer, 
Secret bridge opens up!!!

I cross the secret bridge! To find what??
Enchanted forest! 
Patients! waiting to see me! 
Cliched or calling! 
I found the right bridge!!
