SAFE TO CROSS
Big brown columns plunge their feet
into murky waters, secure my bridge.
The river flows slowly, undeterred.
A boat sends its lonely laments
answered by a gull´s circling screeches.
The river flows slowly, undeterred.
Sunset signals old lanterns to start
they throw pools of yellow hopeful light.
The river flows slowly, undeterred.
It is safe. I can continue my walk unafraid
Cross this bridge to find a new home.

and: “old lanterns to start”
and: “cross this bridge and find a new home.
sorry I couldn´t warn you before. Marjon.

alterations done…I think semi colons should be avoided. Just a suggestion. Think function of full stops commas and semi colons are more about signals to a reader to breathe.

The line ought to be: Sunset signals old lanterns to start
The word sunset has disappeared.
