The view from within

The view from my balcony

paints pictures in my mind

Full of colors of the sunrise

and the sound of foggy mornings

when birds are too lost to sing

The cars drive by like

there is a better tomorrow waiting

just around the block

I don't believe in happy endings

kisses at sunsets

and bright nights

People can look for the romantic ending

from the neighborhood

but my mind wanders around the city

like a lost raven dressed as a swan

I don't need the wind to take me higher

not another turn on the street

to find a way through this

messy home I've built

The foggy mornings soothe me

so I can imagine a cloudless sky

when the run rises again

and loans its colours to me

so I can fill my restless mind

with the beauty I created
