Rooftop

[rixorama]

A visionary beauty beholds
   as I step onto your platform
unguarded, liberated, free.

I see the wonders of the world
   as I step onto your platform
unharmed, natural, free.

City lights grow steadily brighter
   as I step onto your platform
untarnished, shining, free.

All my emotions grow stronger
   as I step onto your platform
fear, anxiety, amazement,
love, happiness, contentment.

I could stay here forever, I say,
   as I step onto your platform

I could, but I can't.
Because nothing lasts forever
   not even your platform
     unwavering, sturdy, free
     your platform that made me feel
     happy, loved, free.
