Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,

Harsh reality smacks like a slap of cold wind. Sometimes I’m a tough sailor, at the helm,

Photos are all I have At times, Of smiling familiar faces, My family spread out. I would travel often

This is the America I know: A sea of white, black, red, yellow And brown faces, Strong minds and voices Raised to the sun,

Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song

On the brink of leaving, To go beyond These borders And say good-bye, To all you know,

Twilight slides in quietly as birds fly to warm nests. Pink hues of evening reflect in the clouds. Soon the moon
