It’s Time to Take a Walk | 2018

It's time to take a walk

It's time to take a walk

It's time to take a walk

Down main streets

Down side streets

Down back streets

It's time to take a walk

Down my street

Down your street

Down all streets

It's time to take a walk

Over bridges

Over causeways

Over tracks

It's time to take a walk

And then maybe we can talk

Walk & Talk together

Like seams sewn together

Squares of fabric like small towns

Uptowns to downtowns

Eastsides to Westsides

Walking side by side

Northsides to Southsides healing the divide

Ribbons cut on main streets

Neat & bright

Cities woven with the colors of music

Hearts open wide

Elevating the sounds of

neighborhood silence

Brushed under the rug

Soft fabric like lawns In the suburbs

The quilt of our nation

The melting pot

Do you remember the vision?

Bold smiles of hope

Celebrating Diversity

On the next farm

On the next block

Cobblestone streets

Dusty Highways

Paved Roads

Rocks stacked

Bricks layed

Mortared home to home

Torn patched burned

Cut up and rung

The fabric of our nation

Revived & reborn

City to city

Constructed & deconstructed

Patterns of time

Humming like sewing machines

Our heartbeats like rhymes

White picket fences to the picket lines

To the shelters of the homeless

We are connected

To be loved

To be cherished

To be respected

State to State

Territory to territory

Every heart has a valuable story

We are connected

To be loved

To be cherished

To be respected

To every home

Stolen, Sold , Rented and Owned

Adobe, Shanty, Victorian, Colonial, Tudor, Brownstone, Rowhome

America let's take a walk together

Home is Home.
