Gilded Living

beginning of October

what you want is not always what you get

Gilded Living

a new city was formed
wonder all brand new
no laws etched on papyrus
or crowns gilded in silver

people gather by the water
their reflection inspires
marbled wants leap wildly
voices echo as needs hide

the high Court's begins session
tell us what you want
write down each one
be frivolous ;think practical

too many little seedlings
what will grow inspired
God which is most worthy
read all very carefully

choose your happiness level
live with joy and adventure
build up clay trees
ding any perfect towns

moves to grand palace
first impression a sadness
it is way too big
a cottage holds peace

lots of food spilled out
cupcakes,pizza galore
scarcely eaten this day
hunger takes in life

life's beauty crafted slowly
God as our landlord
you fill delicate prayers
we rise a new Street

feet learn by doing
hearts cradle north stars
values shrink daily
see what's most important

wear invisible wings
the super hero returns
message alert read
archived among inbox

home has no zip code
everyone wears grace
throw kindness around
place stamps in passport

order those sweets
dance all over life
sing compassion always
hear my name; say it

we are not just cities
full of anonymous Shadows
we are chalk drawings
coming alive to create stories
