#newcity - Hello Poetry

These days i used to know They've all but come and go These streets i used to roam They all dont know me now I made all new friends With all new sidewalk ends Spent days and nights Learning all the new lights After all I have done I cant let myself shun The hard work put Into getting my foot Started in a fresh direction.

I hope you don't seep through my fingers like water I hope you don't disappear like cotton candy in the wind I hope you don't crumble like the powdery remains of a pillar I hope you don't burn out like a dying candle I hope you don't dissolve into the night like a black cat New girl in the city I hope I make it

Cotton candy in the wind

I hope you don't seep through my fingers like water I hope you don't disappear like cotton candy in the wind I hope you don't crumble like the powdery remains of a pillar I hope you don't burn out like a dying candle I hope you don't dissolve into the night like a black cat New girl in the city I hope I make it

The raindrops felt refreshing As they splattered gently Down my arms That loosely gripped My half-busted umbrella. My shoes splished and Splashed, Not even bothering to Avoid The puddles, Ruby red of my moccasins Dyeing the skin on my feet As the liquid Soaked in. The rainwater felt cool, But my flannel hugged me tightly, Breaking up the Onset of goosebumps. The trees and grassy lawns Illuminated a bright green, Lapping up the raindrops Thirstily into their wide mouths. With no guide, My dampened feet lead their Own way Down streets and roads, Diagonals, bobbing and Weaving Through the city limits. No fear, stomach dropping, For I knew I would find my way. Peaceful afternoon, Rain dancing down from The cloud-filled sky; I wandered deep into a Blissful promenade.

Promenade

The raindrops felt refreshing As they splattered gently Down my arms That loosely gripped My half-busted umbrella. My shoes splished and Splashed, Not even bothering to Avoid The puddles, Ruby red of my moccasins Dyeing the skin on my feet As the liquid Soaked in. The rainwater felt cool, But my flannel hugged me tightly, Breaking up the Onset of goosebumps. The trees and grassy lawns Illuminated a bright green, Lapping up the raindrops Thirstily into their wide mouths. With no guide, My dampened feet lead their Own way Down streets and roads, Diagonals, bobbing and Weaving Through the city limits. No fear, stomach dropping, For I knew I would find my way. Peaceful afternoon, Rain dancing down from The cloud-filled sky; I wandered deep into a Blissful promenade.
