Music keeps me swinging, <br />Swinging down big city streets, <br />Wondering just who I shall meet, <br />How shall I greet? Who will I defeat? <br />Following my nose, my excitement grows, <br />Pavements just come and go, <br /> <br />What do I owe? <br />How will I know? <br />Is it too late to grow? <br />As above so below is all I know, <br />Gonna reap what you sow! <br /> <br />Rhythm of the street, <br />Every tune another beat, <br />Temple Emmanuel, ringing bell, <br />Nothing to sell, <br />If only you knew me well! <br />Heartbeat in a foreign land, <br />Memories like grains of sand, <br /> <br />Moving through life day by day, <br />Even when the skies are grey, <br />Picking up crumbs dropped long ago, <br />Every little speck, so that I can go! <br />Gotta keep moving so I can grow! <br /> <br />So when sadness rings it's hollow bell, <br />And you've got nothing to sell, <br />Who you gonna tell? <br />Deep within you can't hear the streets din, <br />In that stillness, once you've been, <br />Never to forget what you've seen! <br /> <br />14 June 2012<br /><br />David Andre' Klopper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/city-streets-5/
