The Bridge
I didn’t believe,
Standing on the bank of a river
Which was wide and swift,
That I would cross that bridge
Plaited from thin, fragile reeds
Fastened with bast.
I walked delicately as a butterfly
And heavily as an elephant,
I walked surely as a dancer
And wavered as a blind man.
I didn’t believe that
I would cross that bridge,
And now that I am standing
on the other side,
I don’t believe I crossed it.

I didn’t believe,
Standing on the bank of a river
Which was wide and swift,
That I would cross that bridge
Plaited from thin, fragile reeds
Fastened with bast.
I walked delicately as a butterfly
And heavily as an elephant,
I walked surely as a dancer
And wavered as a blind man.
I didn’t believe that
I would cross that bridge,
And now that I am standing
on the other side,
I don’t believe I crossed it.
- Leopold Staff
I don’t remember exactly what it says, but it talks about crossing a bridge, and the bridge is a metaphor for god

Now I want to read his other poems
Have you read any of his? Do you know him? Where was he born? I want to know more

See this one! How beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Foundations
I built on the sand
And it tumbled down,
I built on a rock
And it tumbled down.
Now when I build, I shall begin
With the smoke from the chimney.
