IMG_0290 I Must Roll-On By

"Excuse me, Arlene, but I must roll-on by,"
Said the 1000 Broadway Building to the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall,
With a sigh in his voice, a longing in his steel frame,
As he gazed upon the elegant concert hall, standing tall and grand.

For years they had stood side by side,
Buildings with stories, history and pride,
But as time passed, the Broadway Building felt a need to move on,
To explore new horizons, to seek new adventures at the break of dawn.

He remembered the days when the hall would come alive,
With the sounds of music, laughter and applause that would thrive,
The Broadway Building would listen from afar,
Enraptured by the beauty of the melodies like a shooting star.

But now he felt a restless urge,
To break free from the routine, to follow his divergent surge,
To discover new landscapes, new vistas, new skies,
To spread his wings and reach for the highs.

And so, with a heavy heart and a whispered goodbye,
The Broadway Building bid farewell to Arlene with a gentle sigh,
Promising to carry memories of their time together,
As he embarked on a new journey, to seek his own forever.

The streets of Portland would always remember,
The bond between the two buildings, a bond so tender,
And as the Broadway Building rolled on by,
He knew that in his heart, Arlene would forever lie.
