Sunset in Baltimore [Observatory]

I have seen the silence Of the city's coat of snow And I have heard the grasses Through the sidewalk try to grow I have walked the alleys As the chatter fell to rest And I have seen the nightly winds And felt them in my chest I have passed the bayside And weeks ago I stalled As ripples chased each other To the edges of the wall And I remember thinking 'What a luxury today With all the fears of old resolved, To sit and watch the bay.'
