Sign of the times
so beautiful a structure
stunning beauty
strong
nestled protected
between two
sometimes bustling
buildings
Carefully modernized
without sacrifices
to an earlier time
For Sale
sign
like so many others
is it noticed at all?
Who could buy
this glorious building
and love it
as I do?
Down in the city
where night is
as busy as day
Dress the windows
in lovely drapes
with a center of sheers
Three floors to live in
One for meeting
teaching
buying and selling
Garden on the roof
giant pots and cauldrons
overflowing with
flowers
trees
breakfast lunch and dinner
basking in the sun
Envision this place
in early morning
when people hurry
down the street
briefcase and coffee in
hand
Off to work!
Quickly now!
Think of winter
looking out from the
warmth upstairs
at shoppers in
coats hats gloves
shiny paper bags labeled
Banana Republic Ann Taylor
Dillard's
Consider summer nights
Theatre down the street
Opera just a skip away
Music venues all around
Chatting over a late
dinner
seated in the patio area
Have another glass of
wine?
Who could buy
this glorious building
and love it
as I do?
Down in the city
where night is
as busy as day.
