outside these city walls
I was thinking about changing things up
by rising out of bed without an agenda
hitting the streets on steel tipped boots
marching alongside a new kind of drummer
they blocked off the old holiday parade route
days before dismantled tanks rolled in
armless soldiers handing out ruby red grapefruits
and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies
I walked alongside millions of newfound friends
all drawn to this place by an unknown star
embracing change with song and dance
(while outside these city walls)
stockpiles of old ideas burned day and night
october two thousand sixteen

Great imagery to delight all the senses!
Thank you, Kate. elated you think so.
Oh YES!!! Thank you for this vision of hope.
My pleasure, friend. Thank you for sharing my work on twitter and facebook, it is most appreciated.
Somehow I feel both hope and dread in a vision like this.
Ideally the hope will overwhelm the dread!
