brooklyn, a[bridge]d.
crossing over. capturing the journey across:
I’ve left the green and ocean behind
For a metropolis that sometimes leaves me restless
A schizophrenic sky
Alternating between rain and sun within seconds
Fall and summer in 24 fast hours
But I have arrived
And I’m gonna make it
In this city of all nighters
Of suns breaking dawns
Here we witness the sun swallowing up the night
The birth of a fresh day
A liberating new beginning
I tell you
I am ready
To claim my dream for the taking
I bear witness
To fate relaying a message
It is written on a bridge
Between
Dream and the reality
I believe this is the time for crossing over
For every vision, a bulb
On this majestic skyline
My name glittering a galaxy
A sparkle
That makes camera flashes giddy
So let me give you a sunshine smile
A glimpse of this star rising
And I promise to mold poems and songs
Out of bricks
Soften your metal
Kiss you with silken lips
And to love you New York City,
Even when your sky
Changes its mind.
Brooklyn, June 2009: Mama I made it!
