Vancouver Bridge

Bridge
you perform a thankless task,
carrying so many people
to work, play and home
all day.

You are a magnificent creation
and I honour you as that.

Yes you are functional
yet also purposeful.
More than robotic
or built by robots.

The conscious intention conceived you.

The conscious intention in all things.

In the absolute meaningless
of inanimate concrete,
like the silent breath
of a mountain,
there is beauty.

No simply 'manmade' beauty;
Godmade beauty.
Vibrating with the mineral asteroids and planets
This bridge deserves to be revelled.
