Bridges of Life

A Selection of Poems

By James Bolgiano

One With the World

While watching the scenic view before me,
I pondered antique mysteries,
Pursued questions without answers,
And fantasized visions without words.

My thoughts soon left me,
As I became assimilated
With the majesty before me;
Completely absorbed by the water, wind, and sky.
Experiencing a oneness with each flower
And each creature, great and small.

No longer an outsider but one with all.
My spirit caressed everything it touched,
Kissing the sweet visions before my eyes, as does the breeze.
My consciousness no longer mine,
But one with the world.
