Bridging the Gap
It would be nice to be,
The Bridge
Over your Troubled Water.
Carrying you safely from symptom to solution.
Lifting the load,
Plating the problem, stitching the gap,
Shouldering the boulders of pain,
From your musculoskeletal ache, to your catastrophic cough,
Bearing the brunt of the blows of investigation, of iatrogenic incapacity.
Wielding the weight off your mind,
While the fierce flow of frailty froths below.
But what to do when the whirlpools swirl inside you?
A tide within
Intrinsic, integral, inoperable, incurable.
Or when the banks have crumbled and the ropes rotten through.
What then but hold your hand,
And, stronger together,
We’ll learn to swim
