From Harlem To Heaven

From Harlem's pulse, a symphony untold, Stories etched in a brownstone, dreams unfold. Streetlamps pierce the twilight, jazz ignites, Hope flickers, a flame against the nights. Laughter rings on stoops where neighbors meet, Gospel choirs rise, voices strong and sweet. Stony sidewalks hold a million strides, Asphalt dreams where destiny confides. Stars peek through the rooftops, reaching high, A silent promise whispered to the sky. From Harlem's struggle, a spirit takes flight, Soaring upwards, bathed in heavenly light.

Beautiful. I can feel the energy of the Harlem's pulse. Truly, without struggle, there is no flight. Well done.

May God bless you for your heavenly and kind thoughts. I believe that poetry is a bird with wings...a bird that sings.
