Tears of Pearls
..Gazing out the window
it's a cold, dreary day
the sun isn't to be seen
just.. a blanket of snow
..dusting the roads
covering yards, flowerbeds
salt covered sidewalks line the city
even on a day such as this
..the city never dies
the sounds never sleep
all refuge seems lost
..climb up high
no, not the trees
what few there are..
seems so small in comparison
go up..
to the roofs of buildings
there is always another
...taller.. higher
squinting eyes
trying to see the stars
..just one glimpse
would be enough to fill my soul
with.. contentment
but the stars never make it through
..there are too many lights
the peace of the evening.. defeated
..the music of the city overpowering
looking out..
..in wonder
..in sorrow
yet, there is a joy here
..one is never alone
though..
if I were too choose
I prefer the.. peace
the beauty
..of the stars
