Unususal Occurence In the Metropolis

Autos race by as bicyclists dodge destruction amidst the heavy traffic Millions of urban workers hurry back from lunch shielding themselves from the bitter city winds which are blowing fiercely this afternoon Then - someone has a vision here in the heart of the teeming city! She feels the presence of the one who dwells beyond before whom there is no pretense She knows ecstasy usually reserved for the holiest of men and women An unusual occurrence in the metropolis She knows now what she has been waiting for for her whole life Urban joy!! I wish it to everyone reading this poem!

Sometimes living out here in the country can become too quiet, and when you live in an urban area, you're never alone. So, I can understand what you mean by urban joy... It is nice to read poems from someone who is perfectly happy where they are. Nicely done, Matthew!
