Awaken San Francisco

San Francisco, San Francisco, old and glamorous; how many stories not being told; how much potential needs to -be unlocked; let’s discover - your true character, convey your inner charm, brighten up your shadow, rejuvenate you with -fresh scent, artistic insight, influential delight.

Wander around at-

the city center of -

San Francisco,

stroll over -

the cursive path,

hill down and up,

sit at the blue table in-

Union Square,

watch the hop-in & off buses,

carrying around-

passengers of all kinds;

the sun starts -

brightening up,

the paces of -

pedestrians speed up,

Isn’t San Francisco just

waking up?



The wind is -

still a little chilly,

even in a hot summer day:

the shadow of light begins -

dimming down,

in the early night;

the downtown is-

not so tidy;

the streets smell -

not so right;

can San Francisco recover from -

suffering,

welcome guests worldwide?



From East to West,

South to North,

Golden Gate Bridge should be

the landmark to -

connect-

the world of difference;

Pacific Ocean watches us over,

whispering us of -

nature's deep secrets.


But, walking into the crowd,

we still feel -

lonely inside;

are there -

overdosed lyrics,

hidden pitfalls,

tangled around;

can we untie the knots,

thread around our inspiration to-

shine up?


San Francisco, San Francisco,

old and glamorous;

how many stories not being told;

how much potential needs to -

be unlocked;

let’s discover -

your true character,

convey your inner charm,

brighten up your shadow,

rejuvenate you with -

fresh scent,

artistic insight,

influential delight.


Architecture buildings stand up,

solidly,

fountains flow up,

instantaneously;

from day to night,

winter to summer,

we hope -

this global city looks -

elegant, healthy,

all the places,

all the time.
