City Lights
Gazing out my window
Taking notice of myriad lights
Thousands of lives
are played out
behind those lights
Light defying darkness
as we all must do
to survive in this
ever changing metropolis
Soft voices call us
telling us to give up the
struggle
Yet we fight on
We walk on gilded splinters
and must careful not to fall
City lights at night
How many stories do they illuminate?
One can only guess - send out best wishes
to the masses who make up the urban landscape
