Middle of it all

A silent night broken by gunfire
Brief interruption to the once serene
Freeze frame, don't move
As quickly as interrupted
Quiet overtakes again.... a still silence

A day rocked by police presence
Going for a ride to the P.D.
Wasn't their first choice
But a choice filled with consequences
Slowly driven away, what fate now

In the middle of the wheels
The deals
The side streets
Alleys ways and more
Something in the middle makes wave

Laughter, Love, Family, Friends
A single leaf caught in the Spin Cycle
Being tossed every now and then

The middle momentarily
Breaks through the poison
Fills the streets
The walkways
The alleyways and more

A glimmer of hope
Somehow shines in the middle of it all
