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.
