Poem Artwork

As I walk down the streets of this city,
I look at the faces that pass by through the day...
I wonder what thoughts they are thinking,
and I wonder, does the light lead their way?

As I walk down the streets of this city,
I look at others, all human like me,
I find myself wondering how many really care,
how many dare to dream, dare to be?

As I walk down the streets of this city,
I look at the sorrow on faces passing by...
I wonder, do they know the music of laughter -
How many tears have they had to cry?

As I walk down the streets of this city,
I notice so little love can be found...
Where is the laughter, the joy and the peace,
has there ever been a time when they abound?

As I walk down the streets of this city,
I find myself looking up to God’s sky -
I wonder, what the new life of spirit will be like,
I wonder, what it’s like to die?

As I walk down the streets of this city,
I look inward to the heart of self -
I wonder, will I always live my life alone...
or will I share it with somebody else?

As I walk down the streets of this city,
I look inward to the spirit of man -
I wonder, will there always be sacrilege and war...
And I wonder why we try to thwart God’s plan?
When there are petals of peace spread before us...
all we need do is reach out our hand.
