Poem

By Mary Lou / Staff Writer

---

Watch the rain 

Fall all over you, 

Stare at the sky 

And look for 

Infinity. 

---

I woke up 

Dreaming 

About the city 

By night, 

And from the depths 

Of the mundane abyss 

Of this new world 

I find my quiet 

Renaissance. 

---

I dreamt of light, 

Of colors flashing 

Before my eyelids: 

Closed, 

Delicate petals 

Soaked in dew. 

---

And I’ll rise again, 

Go over the balcony, 

Watch below, 

See the city 

From above: 

You’ll catch a blink 

Of me, 

With my wings 

Spread, 

Before I jump. 

---

You’ll never 

See me 

Again.
