Bridges

What is this darkness that swallows us?
This nothingness that covers us?
This void that sucks us in?

When did we lose our crowns?
When did we reject our royal right?
When did our light die, our life dried?

As children of a broken creation
As children of fallen emperors
As brokeness of an eternal covenant

We stood near de chasm
We schemed to bring You down to us
To repair the broken link
To fill the empty sea

You built the towers
You threw the lanes
You placed the lumber
You built the bridge

Chasm no more
Void no more
Darkness no more
Nothingness no more

I am home.
