New York city painted blue
such a beautiful hue
treasures hidden
on the pavement
bravely walking down
the street - meeting the sun
greeting the moon

alone in the city
captured by a strangers eye
almost drowning in the crowd
- when a hand reaches out

keep on moving
always on the go
sitting down
slowing down
breathing
counting the stars
remembering the days

when the dream was a spark
lightened by the idea
of a better place to find yourself
waking up and realizing it was not
all gold

some of the old
going through the rabbit hole
as we are dancing off the heaviness
the new beginnings comes closer
new dreams arises from
what once was -and will never be again

new fields to run across
new places to discover

throw overboard what you do not need
and keep your faith close at hand
as you enter the city of your dreams

you might feel small - among buildings standing tall
but your soul is big and shines bright
so do not fear the light

go steady with your feet on the ground
and listen to the sounds
take in the versatility - the energy

of New York City
