Poem - Two worlds exist

Two worlds exist.
A delicate balance of earth and sky, of sun and moon.
A loss of one would mean the loss of two.

One world so fast.
A flurry of color, people, sights and sounds
The race to keep up and stay within bounds.

The signal lights tell it all.
Cars speed by, trucks go with the flow.
Sidewalks full of people, they stop and go.

The wail of a sirens.
It beckons and calls over the cities dull roar.
Reminding us all of what can be in store.

The sky so gray.
The factories and autos all add to the cloud.
Hiding the blue, not making us proud.

The other world so calm.
The fields of greens and yellows swaying so free.
Over hills and valleys, as far as you can see.

The trees stand true.
The wind and rain add to the sway and dance.
Each tree and brush keep its faithful stance.

The clouds so white.
For miles and miles, the earth chases the sky.
The horizon so far, you can't touch it, no matter how hard you try.

The peace of it all.
Gone are the horns, siren and roar, all so wrong.
Replaced with dogs barking, horses neighing, birds chirping in song.

Two worlds exist.
Where are these worlds that seems so apart?
The one world I live, the other, in my heart.
