A vessel of life.
style, language, integration, relation,
loose association and some strife.
Formed from millions of minds
shaping direction with imagination.

Every season, transition.
Culture reflects the breeze and leaves.
Brown, silver, green, gold, grey.
Skies, clouded, exposing the raw concrete way.
Blue sunshine on bright glimmers of snow.
And fat heavy air, even hotter this year
you know?

The mountain.
A magnetic pulse of tree-truth,
cools the plateau people who play and
downtown corporate heights bloom
with packed-fast urban delights.

While the river floats history.
An expression of repression,
from soft kayaks in song
to dead fish who don’t belong.

The day dims, yet always aglow.
A halo of thick pink air,
twinkling lights.
Evening fades bright -
shades of late indigo blue.

Each moment a fresh hue.
