Silent Dawn, Streets of Calm
Her morning silence brings me peace & soothes me as I breathe,
To embrace her beauty, drops me to my knees.
It's the calm I feel, the appreciation that's instilled.
This is why in my city, I believe...
To walk her as I do, be able to see her each new moon
gives me pleasure & keeps me in tune.
Feeling the brisk coolness on your face as it's coming in from the ocean breeze.
To see the beach at dawn & the sun as it sets in to the sea,
This is what makes me, me.
The 4 corner stone walled, mountain tops & millions of looking glass eyes which, cover all four sides go scaling up into Heaven, way up into the sky.
To view Los Angeles from a far, sit looking up at stars, watching as they come falling from the skies.
It's some what sad to see & just as hard to watch as this city comes to life.
Never the less, it's in her nature & can't be changed, to go from darkness into daylight.
If all I'll ever know is the concrete that holds her all together & the asphalt streets I've, walked forever.
Then I'm glad to say, I was born here in beautiful East L.A...
I could walk these streets, feel her breeze, she's all I'll
ever need.
The City of Angels is where I live, I couldn't leave her ever!!!!
