The bridge

What lies below the bridge?
Maybe a groggy troll
Possibly a beautiful nymph
Perhaps just a drowned cat

What sits above the bridge?
Maybe a latched soul
Possibly a golden road
Perhaps just a carried corpse

What lies beyond the bridge?
Maybe a sailing serpent
Possibly a promised rainbow
Perhaps just a pack of grim wolves

What sits behind the bridge?
Maybe a cross raven
Possibly a destined horizon
Perhaps just a savage storm
