Analysis of Accross the bridge of time
Accross the bridge of time
across the bridge of time we roam the labyrinth
of a dream.
Narrow streets of twisted steel
covered in ash and shadows.
In the stillness
everything retreats into silence of dreams, amid
facades of broken pillars left wayside to open
graves
pillars carved in stone, desolate crumbled
at the rivers edge. Wilted shadows over
tombs of unburied lay in a nocturnal voice of
fading roses.
Twisted in steel,
the poppies speak for wounded souls
as soft hands of angles touch
thier silent faces.
between the corridors of space
and time a single stroke of a bell,
echos fades into the hearts it touches.
Into depths of sleeping flames and blood
lay naked in rubble by rivers bed, towers fallen
on sound of doves wings the hand of death closes
as hero's sleep and mothers weep. clocks stand
still Behind a rusted cross where flowers grew
