My Sidewalk
My sidewalk exclaims
Off its own wet surface
The lights do reflect beyond its water
As if the stars carry its empty planets
Holding ice within
Its own reflection
Red the light keeps the human condition
Allows me to stop the confusion outside
Rain does illuminate
Brings glorious high
The universe doesn’t understand complexity
Of the reflection of light off the sidewalk
Calm presents itself
Reality reigns
The stars above don’t comprehend us
And our delight at such simple things
First hand innocence
The light rebounds up
The sky infiltrates the heaven’s ideals
Softly the pallets carry hope throughout
Nothing has a light
Like stars that illumine
Onto my sidewalk
