The Tower Bridge Faltering

A bridge can only contain and take on so much before it falters 

Now imagine trying to move all your life's possessions and baggage across a bridge, back and forth only to cross securely to the other side 

Each time you cross, the bridge becomes weaker and weaker and overtime decays 

Now imagine trying to fill a cargo ferry with your life's work and  baggage, just to cross the seas to pastures anew  

The ferry could only contain so much, before it started to sink, subside then ultimately sink 

 

A tower of strength, stretched far and across the seas

Stood still and strong for ages to provide a support system, across stormy waters and harshness of rocky storms 

The tower of fortitude sustaining all that's comes its way. 

The tower,  crashed and bruised along the way from overuse and reliance as a support system 

Now imagine if all that strength were to subside and crumble into the seas along with ferry, into an endless vicious water pint  

Wait pose and rewind 

Now imagine if you stopped, thought for a second recognised the ferry or tower for ifs strength and the support it has provided for so long 

Imagine if you off loaded some of your baggage, just enough to recognise the dark surface of the ferry

The tower- it's vulnerability exposed so raw,  it's metal so rusty to its core 

Have your ever tried off loading some of your own baggage 

Now imagine you and your strength and support systems. Which one are you? 

The tower or bridge that holds everything and only to let it pass. The ferry that crosses the stormy seas. 

Or the cargo that's rides along through everything without a second thought about the impact on the tower, bridge or ferry?
