Heart Route 26 - We are Barcelona

We Are Barcelona 

Birds replaced by helicopters
Music drowned out by sirens
​
Hate breeds hate
Love breeds love 
Reaching for my map, I know what needs to be done 
Drawing a red line 
From the top to the bottom of Las Ramblas 
Following the pen along Passeig de Colom 
And into Ciutadella Park
Line by line
Passeig de Gracia
La Pedrera
Plaza de Catalunya
Line by line
You’re now complete

The red pen is then replaced by bike tyres

Every pedal
Every push
Breathing in and out 
Soaking into my memory

For every flower I see
Every candle I notice
Every message I read
I no longer feel fear

We are not afraid
We are Barcelona
Our heart beats on
