Shadow roll
Over the edges
Of crisp white walls
Windows ajar
With the sound of rumbling
Cars
Shadow roll
Over the edges
Of crisp white walls
Windows ajar
With the sound of rumbling
Cars
Burning eyes
Full of
First time skies
Through the cadence
Of cars passing by
Lame lights burn
Incandescent glow
On the face of a man
In a restraint
Alone
Around him the burning glow
Of a personal computers
Impersonal glare
With not one care
Sun crisped palms
On a balmy winter
Day
In east LA
Dirt mounted walkways
Easy pathways
Going sideways
Today
Grey scale days
Faded into a misty
Afternoon
Full of reserved blue
As the days files through
Tile late on the night
Into the morning hours
Lake Michigan’s hue
On the evening
When the pastels turn
Deep blue
Tile nights see me through
Back to the city
Where it all began
When I was a child
The first skyline
That my eyes took in
Formidable Lake Michigan
The lake that feeds us
But almost took my life
Back to Chicago
We go
Religion in sound bite form
Looses something
From the depth
Of a northern light
To the quick selling
Famine
Plight
Not even good
Or alright
Express religion
In its cheapest form
Saving graces
Running all over the human
Race
From one to another
Just a word can redeem
What was once lost
But now back
In seen
On the town
Their is a place
To go
When the world grows
Weary in your eyes
When the sun rises
Feelings anew
Coffee in New York City
Is the best place to remember
That life is a continuum
Of the new and old
When the world looks back
To say thanks
For all you have grown
