A city calls out to me
From beyond an endless sea
Through both time and space
Heart beginning to race
Once a hidden element
Caught in the sudden moment
A world beyond my reach
Yet a lesson to teach
Images coalesce and mingle
Senses beginning to tingle
Of the hidden entity within
Caught in the sudden din
A chorus of sound calling
Thoughts kept in their hiding
Beyond the realm of vision
Soul beginning on a mission
Hidden deeply for so long
Until caught up in the song
