15. Broken bridges

```

My hope was the bridge

Between

My earth-cry and my Heaven-smile.

Alas, the bridge broke down

Because

I forgot to pray

This morning.

My promise was the bridge

Between

My earth-necessity and my Heaven-immortality.

Alas, the bridge collapsed

Because

I forgot to meditate

Last evening.
