Bridges of Spiritualism

Religion as the bridge into spiritualism  

Two landmass and a river between 
A side we live-in another we aspire to connect to 

Religion is the bridge to cross on this river course 

Of which different architect, forms, design and make 

Some as wooden curved structures that stand 

Some as metal elaborate in design

Some as concrete firm and wide

Others with boats to sail across these aqua stand

Yet still on this river in parts where depths so shallow

One can venture a foot long, walk through

And yet to cross this river a sense of faith

As steps is required, do you believe 

For one cannot see in clear view 

Unto the banks of the river with all the 

Fog around and the winds that blow 

Threatening to throw one overboard 

It is so required for a medium to be picked 

In crossing over but do not swear to the bridge 

For it is only but a bridge, do not worship its stands 

And the men and women tasked to hold its grounds (special interest)

For it is not as the value 
Of the river bank on the other side 

Just the passage, where no one can 
Find divine awakening 

As it stand these bridges being of human make

Changes are made, as some required and some influenced

To modify these bridges, each care taker, gate keeper

And the tweaking changes they make to fit their notions  

As with familiarity, locality and proximity

We do patronize a given bridge of cause we do 

Though from time to time we question its integrity  

We find a need to use others when we come across them 

But do not worship any given bridge 

Nor the men that are tasked to hold guard

Appreciate it stands, as a passage path 

Knowing that once you cross any given bridge 

You will land on the banks of spiritualism 

Awareness, meditation, faith and prayers

Are currencies the gate keepers accept 

Evidence as a reflection of thy will

To cross their bridge you have to believe its hold 

Know each bridge, has culture and norms

And one has to obey them as allowance and respect

But do not become fanatic to the norms

And hold as true as the one and only course

Religion is the bridge over the river

Bridging t' gap between the mortal and spiritual world 
We wake, we have faith, we pray 
And walk the bridged road into 
A spiritual awakening 
On which bridge do you walk
