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
