take a slow walk
and clear my head.
of daylight wash down upon me
and take with it all that makes
me feel incomplete.
the world is pure magic,
and even the bones
of the city are beautiful.
closer to its edges,
near enough to whisper,
yet it yells,
curious, hungry, and hopeful...
the seeds of change
are often putting down roots
just before they break
through the unyielding
crust of this Earth
and will bring with them
a new day.

This is wittily written. I love the diction, for being simple, and how you interact with nature. Brilliant.

Your verses give the impression of clamness, of some melancholia but acceptance of life as it is, until the last one one. Then we are exhorted with the promises of change - and change always implies more violence.
An interesting poem, well done

They say the closer we get to the day, the darker it looks. I hope so, my dear. Sometimes the days speak to us and we are deaf or blind. If we look at the afternoon, the sun says goodbye, but immediately the moon comes. God will never leave you in the dark. There will always be a dream to hold onto. This poem made my evening beautiful. Greetings

This is really wonderful sir. There is always light at the end of a tunnel, and it is not from the on-rushing train. It usually get worse before it gets better. Staying hopeful.
Well done sir.

Dear @ericvancewalton sir, got an inspiration from your poetry, really new day is coming soon . This is very true
It tells me to stay
curious, hungry, and hopeful...
the world often
seems to be at its worst
moments before a
new day dawns.
Thanks for your wonderful poetry.

wow .. resteeming ..
You know I thought I had commented on this days ago and just came over here to grab it.
What is happening is I read a lot of posts on my phone but am unable to comment until I get to the computer, otherwise I would be on Steemit too much. (not that I am not already.) Love this! Have a wonderful day my friend. :) Bet you are busy on the script. I am jealous.
added note: I see where @rebeccabe commented so I am not going crazy.

This is the best poem have read lately. It's elocution is fascinating and the thematic preoccupation of the poem is one that gives a perfect picture of nature & human flow. Like the word of gandhibaba, I say I say brilliant!
