don't you just hate when during a dream
you find something that was missing
and then you wake up under sunlit beams
and feel silly for such reminiscing

A valley of lights
twinkling orange and white
brighten the night
with their silent song
Skyscrapers loom high
almost to puncture the sky
and a stranger might
cry for all it's beauty
But only one star
can shine through from afar
and leaves only one scar
in the brown night's purity
When you come into view
my heart beats anew
with all the love I have for you
my favorite city

Slowly you fade away
into the clouds
into the haze
The lights are gone,
but I still feel warm
The scenes are gone,
but I still feel like I'm there
The people are gone,
but they left a permanent mark

ONE pointed starfish
clinging for life
waiting for high tide
TWO small children
string along side
the gentles waves
THREE ocean ferries
hopeless tourist traps
whale watching- no avail
FOUR sneaky seagulls
begging for food
stealing your lunch
FIVE murky footprints
imprinted in the sand.
Attached to them? Memories.

Seattle is like a harp,
many strings
many lengths
many sounds
Each unique to themselves
but when played together
create perfect harmony

Racing through grey waves
Vagabond of the sea
Wind as your leader

Oil tanker
laden with grime
bobbing in the waves
Blamed for polluting
obscenely obtuse
no one cares to save
Don't hate yourself
for I see a shimmer
of something once beautiful
A "fixer-upper"
yes, you are
but who ever said in vain?
for isn't the story of Seattle
to re-make something old,
giving it life again?

Small squares dot the hildside
Tiny ants scurry about
Moving rectangles cruise on along
A few building blocks stand tall
This is the view
timeless,
peaceful,
ever stirring.

Constant beeping
Stifles many's sleeping
Get up! Time to go!
Don't be late for work!
Even arriving a minute tardy,
Makes the boss berserk.
Suit, check
Briefcase, yes
Clamor on to the bus
Cup of Joe, got it
Manila folder, find it!
Gee, the boss'll make a fuss
When you think you're in the clear,
Uh oh... rush hour is here!
Stuck behind a geezer, ******
Acceleration pedal, jam it!
8:01...
Oh hell, you're done.
