Saving Grace

Outside my room
The light of the moon
Autos on the street 
Create the urban beat

Eyes which crave peace
When all troubles cease
Light up again
Through the magic of a pen

We all seek a home 
Which we'll find in a poem
Let the magic start
We'll find redemption through art!

Awesome imagery here. Can just feel the moonbeams pouring in, the comforting sounds of the city, as you rest peaceful, become inspired and begin this wonderful poem. Love, Shar
