From the soothing, yet haunting quietness from the Northern Wind territories

Back into the thick smog of variety of sounds in the city

 

From the limited options in the only grocery store

Back into entire world cuisines on each aisle

What is your choice?

 

From waving at every pick up truck

And walking in the middle of the road…

To blinding traffic lights

Road rage storming

To risking speeding cars

Smothered by pollution

 

Coming back to the fast pace lifestyles

Versus the slower days with time spent with family

If it wasn’t for obligations

Maybe staying in the cold

Don’t sound so bad

Because at least

There will be peace
