Absolutely

Great feeling of relief now that I have a break from work Miraculous - I am O.K. Finally, it seems that trouble has left the room City lights sparkle in the shadows Gazing upon them I taste thoughts about all the urban dwellers in this vast metorpolis this New York, home to millions who move in clockwork fashion to the urban beat, the urban rythms

Don't live in New York City, but visited a couple of times. Very inspiring and creative way you have of expressing your thoughts about the city during your break...favorites... "trouble has left the room"..."taste thoughts"

No, not Honolulu, I was led by intuition to choose this poem to read, answering my question of what city lights in your latest post. Mesmerizing . . . the lights are. They energize in contrast to making one dreamy, simultaneously. Great poem!
