They Dream of Life in the City

 if I were a painter the walls would be covered with sea, land and sky-scapes...paintings in her art center; people and places! both her work or work she has collected.

   ...posters in her room

 

I dream of wide open spaces

Meadow-lands out to the sky

They dream of city-places

And ‘everything close by’

I dream of still summer daybreak

Save for the lilting of lark

They dream of high-rise landscapes

And nights that are never dark

I dream of season-tickets

Privy to nature’s treats

While they dream of shows and vendors

Foreign to rural streets

I dream of life in the country

They call it ‘middle of nowhere’

So they dream of life in the city

And highways to everywhere

Victoria just came home from spending a night and day with her friend in the city...she told me it's 'the best and close to everything !'
