I walk between a beguiling trench A glowing bridge, paraded with gowns The other side must lead somewhere? I look, ponder, plummet, down I gaze at.. The face of a girl unfocused Drowning my mind out My reflection from above, Looks at the Wanderer Beneath the lowly stars hangs my hairs The crescent moon wanes Guiling my innocent feet, to walk my wonder - the spirit captures my soul What I ponder is a creature, staring at me by the bridges' edge Holding a flaming lantern - taking my hand Cloaking my dreams in budded flowers The creature stirred my peeping mind... I begin to see my maiden's gown fretting, distressing with the wind The creature of the ghostly figure greets me graciously I step upon a grave lair A burrow lays underneath I sigh, I'm listening to my hand maiden's grief Must you show me? Take charge of me? I'm lost In unknown territory - casting dark spells and chants in foreign languages - I run Casting my arms around a vagueness I familiarize with a homely scent A green pasture, guiding me My beguiling bridge doesn't guide me It leads me I must take the budded flowers in my pocket I blow out the lantern flame I will lead

Bridge to Terebithia
I walk between a beguiling trench A glowing bridge, paraded with gowns The other side must lead somewhere? I look, ponder, plummet, down I gaze at.. The face of a girl unfocused Drowning my mind out My reflection from above, Looks at the Wanderer Beneath the lowly stars hangs my hairs The crescent moon wanes Guiling my innocent feet, to walk my wonder - the spirit captures my soul What I ponder is a creature, staring at me by the bridges' edge Holding a flaming lantern - taking my hand Cloaking my dreams in budded flowers The creature stirred my peeping mind... I begin to see my maiden's gown fretting, distressing with the wind The creature of the ghostly figure greets me graciously I step upon a grave lair A burrow lays underneath I sigh, I'm listening to my hand maiden's grief Must you show me? Take charge of me? I'm lost In unknown territory - casting dark spells and chants in foreign languages - I run Casting my arms around a vagueness I familiarize with a homely scent A green pasture, guiding me My beguiling bridge doesn't guide me It leads me I must take the budded flowers in my pocket I blow out the lantern flame I will lead
A time where I must choose my own path. I will not let anyone guide me.
