on a street corner

on a street corner

on a street corner
cars pass by
people walk
a stranger catches my eye
i see a child
holding a father's hand
i hear the birds
singing their songs
car's engines
pushing the limit
lights turn green
others turn red
people slow
and people go
a cycle in every second
intersections crossed
circles looped
a grid is formed
and a space is defined
a movement follows
a pace is set
destinations are in sight

movement frees
my silly heart
grasping a time or two
of rest.
