"Our City" - by Justin Rule

My city has a pulse.

It lives and thrives on passion

Expressed through perspectives of people

Whose pride resides in the creativity

That permeates the previously parched pavement of potential.


My city has a soul.

It captivates the curious

On the corners where the coffeeshops

And cobblestone streets meet

The audible imprints of independents

Sewing musical flavors into the atmosphere

Saturating the canvas of human experience

With the colors of the Creator.


My city lives.

It inhales the spirit of things spoken to be

And exhales the fruition of the visions we see.

This is not my city.

This is our city.
