Capture Me

Atlanta, I liked this name a lot
It sounded like a Christmas morning
Snowing outside your window
Or waves crashing over the hull of a boat
I truly loved this name.

This was a symbol of life, a reason to keep walking
Atlanta, hair as blue as the sky,
Skin the colour of pearls
Atlanta, ethereal but captive of the sea.

Capture me
