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.
