Boarding

Oh glorious day of sun and shining.
In this city of fences to block
Gates that lock
Closed fortress walls behind
Where they hide

Fear and comfort with the security that's constructed
Made to be connected from
Th separation that doesn't quite
Make sense.
If we stop to see the colors.

Bright walls
Mosaic bridges
A kaleidoscope of doors, storefronts, and ads
Clustering familiarity
Helping us hope.

That hope cuts through fences and
Knocks over walls.
Where in this city we are unified.

The splendor of the sun and blue
Paling when compared to the
Sparkling stars and water that we
Experienced upon boarding.
Climbing and finding a view.

That's where I met you
Sitting in the wind of the city and
The glow of a checkered skyline
Talking on the edge
Baring huge smiles and
Giddy with excitement for who
We could become as
We explored who we are.
