The prettiest of pictures

When the world is stacked

One upon another

Set like a dream

Of other worlds

And movie sets

More than real life ~

Mornings are children rushing

Feet hurrying down halls

Breakfast cooking

Competing aromas

Making their way through walls

As people live in rows

One upon another

And night brings the lights

One by one winking out

Like stars set to die

In an orderly fashion

As the time to dream comes at last

And we seek our rest

One upon another ~ Caroline A. Slee
