Greetings From the Other Side

Walking by
electric images 
   of lust and love
I catch a hint of something beyond
     Strange garden - flowers
can grow here!
         City on a unique voyage
                   through the cracks 
  in the pavement
life forces its way through!
       don't be upset
               by the noise of 
  the revelers or the automobiles
You'll see the light coming 
       forth again through the
  shadows
When dawn appears once
more
     above the bridge between 
the islands
    Millions of voices 
will sing in silent harmony
     We awake from uneasy 
dreams
           Our paths become clearer 
                     as our ears 
                     hear the melody
sounding throughout
      the asphalt homeland
