City of My Dreams
Stars like stepping stones
Leaping from foot to foot
Drips of light dropping down on the darkened bridge below
I feel my chest heaving
Heavy with what I’ve left and am leaving
I see myself climbing glass towers
Opening every door I can
So odd to be so happy
Yet searching in every room
For the moon I’ve looked up to for so long
Consistency in not being alone
On my own
Or with myself
Yearning for the touch of moonlight
Beaming down on me and my heart
It’s my part to play
Cherishing this time
Never to rewind the clock
Because I know the alarm is about to go off
It feels at times like I’m just waiting
Biding my time
Biting my tongue
Cracked lips and dried tears being swept away on the river of fears
Watching them go
As I’ve found my flow
But know that this rhythm wants another melody
A tune I’ve not heard in awhile
One that sings to me
In the city of my dreams
