Bridges in Life

Come what may, bridges will burn,
The heart differently will yearn, 
Life ensures that you will learn
As events uncontrollably turn.
But the bridge burns, oh it burns.

Who sets off the blazing fire? 
Is it some unknown latent desire? 
Or yet an inexplicable fiery ire? 
Regardless... It leaves one in a mire.
But the bridge burns, oh it burns.

Should I salvage the fallen debris? 
Can I salvage the fallen debris? 
I cower, unable to set myself free, 
Can't watch it burn and just be. 
But the bridge is burnt, oh it's burnt. 

Will this remain a scar forever? 
Will I build another bridge, ever? 
These thoughts, will time finally sever? 
To answer, I alone must endeavour.
But the bridge is burnt, oh it's burnt. 

But hey, you really should be smiling, 
The one across made the bridge worth having, 
The little talks are memories worth keeping, 
Now look ahead to a new beginning. 
Glad the bridge was built, oh it was built.

Some paths will never be taken, 
Many dreams will never truly happen, 
Life is too short, don't remain so shaken, 
Smile again, love again, now awaken. 
Glad the bridge was built, oh it was built.

Mangalyaan


This has to go down as a failed attempt. ISRO's official facebook page of the Mars Orbiter Mission called for posts by users which they would in turn post on their page. I submitted this acrostic, but it wasn't published. The picture in the background is from the MOM.
