Poetry: Downtown Streets

Downtown Streets
my city is the castle in the sky resting in clouds tinged with pink I think these streets were made for loving eyes and those whose hearts are tired they need to get away for awhile and don’t realize that this is their home this time
come live in the streets with the music come drink tea with me on the window sill watching the sun listening to sweet melodies let yourself come undone the storm has finally settled no more pockets of heat and rain to blanket the sky Downie whisks us into peach clouds and soft air tells us it will get better, once you learn how to fly
happiness is not a risk you cannot bear it is right outside your window it is the music that we share it lives in the moments we dive head first into sweetness and become one with our own atmosphere lonesome traveller addicted to pain lost in the concrete world because you were going with the grain let the pastels remind you of love again and we will dance once the colours melt into the great black sky imagining that the cracks in the streets absorbed all the moonlight and gave us the power to finally take flight.
POEM BY DANA SHARE ILLUSTRATION BY JUSTIN LAGUFF
my city loves its music grassroot folk filling cement sidewalks and stones of heritage homes it feels like a sweet dream sitting in my window sill, sipping on some tea watching the music and free spirits fill the downtown streets the guitar strings create new memories a sound to be of company to these blazing summer nights
