Burn Your Bridges

                            

                

"Don't burn your bridges."

What a quote.

Not all bridges must stay.
No, not all.

Some come to our lives.
But for a while.

When you cling on thereafter.

            You hurt your soul.

They hurt your soul.

            You hurt their soul.

Burn such bridges.
I tell you my friend.

Don't fortify a bridge.

That is done with you.

Don't force doors open.

That has done its work.

When they close a door.

Leave it closed.

When a bridge gives way.

We build another.

When God closes a door.

He opens another.
