We walking bridge of silence

We walking bridge of silence

We walking bridge of silence
Back and forth,tentatively approaching middle ground
Standing,gazing breathlessly in eyes
Unable utter words,cemented in the throat

Again,again,again
The puny steps like strutting on the tightrope
We walk to certain point ,then turn around
Alarmed to put it on display our emotions

Huge effort needed to unfroze the ice
The winter covered the hearts in the bleak mural
Reconciliation march we gonna start from furthest marks
This time uniting, crossing bridge of silence
