Feet Firmly Planted, Arms Reaching Skyward, Strong Hands

A Golden Gate Bridge Tower

Lloyd Gavin

Feet firmly planted,

Arms reaching 746 feet skyward,

And hands gripping my raison d'étre. 



I am a sight to behold.

Up close: not easily apprehended,

Afar: easily recognized, although seldom the focus.

Absent: chaos and inconvenience.

My twin is 4200 feet away.

Together we enable commerce,

support security and

provide a convenience to transportation.

To the spiritual man,

I am evidence of his Creator's participation

in Creation through humanity.

    Wonderful POV of the famous bridge--and it even inspires spirituality (love that!)
