Bridges Poem by Je'free Y .

It seems two opposite lonely poles of the Earth,
With their magnetic force, drew us away from each other,
Creating an ocean of tears in between us,
And a painful desert that thirsts for mercy.
Higher and higher does not mean happier and happier.
Sometimes, distance is a sorrowful space.
The farther we elevate away from our roots,
The more we taste the blandness of the sky.

We used to share a world, a bittersweet one.
Now, a universe has formed to our partition.
Looking back on yesteryears, I truly already had it all;
But that all was ever undervalued, with undeserved worth.
Maybe, some have to take a flight. Some have to sail miles
To have a genuine appreciation for their origin -
The family, the friendship, both the greatest wealth
That I turned against from in the name of self-glory.

Regret teaches me to return, to come in full circle,
Bridge the gaps, and deplete the vacuity of alienation.
In forgiveness, there is no two or more entities,
But a single one fused with no tinge of strangeness.
Tolerance, patience, understanding -
Just what a short life needs to be able to
Nourish something unconditional for beloved ones,
The ones wounded by my aversion. I am sorry.
