%I'M ME. LIVE WITH IT.

The Jewel Box Of Ocean Avenue

The cool breeze sweeps gently

and the night's silence plays like a song.

Over the horizon,

Isn't the mountains, the fields or the sea.

What was once of the large piece of land,

had now been changed forever.

mountains of trees replaced with skyscrapers,

Fields of green replaced with concrete roads,

The sea now filled with ships and large vessels.

The night has never been so bright either.

City Lights light up the sky,

with only a single star shimmering alone in sight.

As the wind gently brushes through me once more,

I feel sad,

I feel lost,

and i feel that this is a whole different world.

As i glance towards the picture perfect view once more,

I see how beautiful city lights are,

how tiny the windows are,

and wonder how many people call the tiny buildings i see.. "home".

How pretty the lights are,

how bright things have become.

But wait,

Had it been prettier before?

As i breathe the cool and refreshing air,

i can feel the coolness sliding through my nose,

what i see is dozens of little flowers,

the taste of the sweet drink lingers in my mouth,

yet all that's left is bitterness.

I think, I think and i wonder.

Has it always been this way?

As sun goes up and sun comes down everyday,

As the moon appears casually every now and then,

As tides go so high, and come down so low,

As the stars disappear, one by one.

and as the seasons change..

I'll always remember that everyone is looking up in the same night sky.
