High above and brave; Taunting the waters below. With this bridge we have conquered Open spaces And Time opens its wings To let us pass without aging. Who ages on the bridge? No one. Children are arrested in a state Of wondrous apprehension. The old forget gravity's pull On their brittle bones. It is a marvelous thing that connects Our world to Middle Earth and Rivendell; the great Castle of Gormenghast, Narnia and The fathomless depths of Cthulu; the Temples of the Oracles; the lost rock Walls of the Necropolis; the emerald Towers of Oz; the Memorial to Krypton In the Fortress of Solitude; the waters of Lethe; the expanse of Midgard and the Rainbow Bridge; Mount Olympus; Daedelus' Labyrinth; the Inferno, the Purgatorio and the Paridisio; the dark Forest's of Pan; and the broad field's of Chiron. And the galaxy of stars, of worlds destroyed And created by your Will, that shapeshifter Of Prima Materia that stretches out in The limitless space that is your mind. This ancient construction of arched Rock, mankind's greatest achievement That draws the curious, the adventurous Without verdict or punishment, and gives Them the ability to walk on air, defeating The current of death that rushes Obliviously below.
