Above It All

New York State Of Mind

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Somewhere above the bright New York skyline

A sweet, treasured place, still held in time

Memories ascending like summer scents in July

While fireworks dance, lighting deep midnight skies

Promises made secret, under flashes of starlight

Hearts racing fast, with your hand on my thigh

Time disappears quickly, imprinted on my mind

The treasures of yesterday of when you were mine

Colors explode like quick steps on the pavement

Destiny hovers leaving doubts far behind

Chances for taking with risks for its payment

Refreshing and freeing my new state of mind

As bold as the city, my spirit is soaring

Like the birds in the sky simply flying away

Dropping my worries and cares far below me

Taking a lesson from a fine New York day
