A Bridge Too Far?

Faith — is the Pierless Bridge
Supporting what We see
Unto the Scene that We do not —
Too slender for the eye
It bears the Soul as bold
As it were rocked in Steel
With Arms of Steel at either side —
It joins — behind the Veil
To what, could We presume
The Bridge would cease to be
To Our far, vacillating Feet
A first Necessity.
Emily Dickinson

Your little literal in the title changed before my very eyes. I don’t even need to comment now.

I had originally planned to post this under an entirely different title (The Bridge to Nowhere?) but revised my ideas before finally publishing.
Although I correctly edited the file name on WordPress, I failed to properly change the title. Sorry!

troubled waters, indeed … the bridge looks a mite shaky
