Poem-A-Day #12: city dream

   

city dream

city dream Elements from Jen Maddock Designs, Everyday Mom Ideas, & CryztalRain.

   

there is a city in your dreams

it encompasses all the places you’ve ever lived

small towns nestle in its arms

rivers, the sea, bicycle paths

vehicles abandoned along its streets

it always rains, the asphalt shimmers

 

you know where you are, but you are lost

your destination should be there, just across

that bridge, that road, that mountain

if only someone would answer the phone

respond to your calls for help, for direction

if only you knew where you were going
