City Living

I look into the night sky As the darkness surrounds my every thought For I cannot help but sigh I could not find the star I had sought The heavens so dark and dull Nothing for the eye to see It used to be so shiny and full Of stars that seemed to flea This bleakness the night has become Has taken away the true beauty of the night It has left my emotions numb There is not one star in sight Sometimes I can see the moon Shine brightly over the city As if it's singing a sad tune Stemmed from sympathy and pity The emptiness inside this place I call home A city so cold a black Has me feeling so alone I am a one man wolf pack.

Brilliant poem Kyle! Mankind is so quick to make things artificial in the name of development but nothing can come close to the wonderful luminaries. I like your reference to a one man wolf pack - wolves travel in packs, a lone wolf that makes up a pack brings to mind the immense struggles that you have to deal with without a shoulder to lean on. Very well written!
