The Bridge


I wrote a poem reflecting my view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge as I take the ferry to and from work every day, and wanted to share it with you.  Enjoy!



The Sydney Harbour Bridge

I saw the reflection
Dancing in the water
The arcs sinking into the sea
The bends disrupted by the ferry passing.

I saw the reflection
Steady in the moonlight
A transitional passage
Connecting one world to another.

I saw the reflection.
Swimming in the sunlight
A pattern painted in the harbour
An intersection of steel and stone.

As I looked up
Towering above me
Grand.
Beautiful.
Iconic.
I saw The Bridge.
