The trees go from bare, barren branches Agonizingly bursting with buds That become leaves in their palest shade Reaching for the sun and darkening in color Time to reach their fullness of life
At home in New York Time to breathe the energy That only New York air carries in its wake Time to let the New York rhythms transfuse Transform Reshape itself As a prelude evolves into a symphony
At home in New York Where ideas float in the air Like grains of sand in the Sahara Waiting to germinate Waiting to be gathered Cross pollinated And become grand arches of infinite rainbows
Glass and steel rising With sculptural ferocity Like Jack’s beanstalk Towering into the sky Reaching for the golden egg Transformed into an apple To be plucked from the tree of life That only New York can succor
Electro-magnetic Drawing toward itself Like the moon controls the tides And returning to the atmosphere Like solar flares Volcanic yet enigmatic Waiting to be recaptured Waiting to be nurtured into being
