City Lights Shining

City lights shining
            at night
lead us to believe
   that the ghosts of the past
          will fade into shadow
Lives lived on the edge
        lead to dreams
    which spin off into
rid and colorful fantasys
                                          Our eyes 
see the lights
         and our spirits 
are moved by
           the crystalline illusions
which
         have followed 
us 
    into the hidden corners 
of our lives
                    Secret hidden secrets
revealed
When the curtain falls 
    those lights will fade
But for now
            Revel in the sight
of the metropolis
