City Lights - Re - Visited
The cold has settled
on the city
from my room I see
street lamps and the
headlights of cars
riding by on the highway
They are moving, moving
Where to?
Some to warm homes
some to lovers
some to friends
I see the lights on
the bridge which spans
the East River
An emblem of man's achievements
They stand proudly against the cold
I am moved to pick up a pen
and record the
sensations I feel
when I contemplate
the asphalt homeland
Alone in my apartment
I reach out to
my fellow city dwellers
Hope they get to their destinations
safely
It is night time
and a blanket of darkness
covers the city
Tomorrow is another day
But for now
I take joy in the knowledge
That there are thousands upon thousands
Who are contemplating this city
along with me
