City of Light

This beautiful breathtaking city is not near the sea It is in the sea Like Venice it has sublime majesty With water channels stretching for infinity But with one difference while in Venice people travel by boat The one used to sail across river, sea or a moat People of this city use huge Victoria lily to keep them afloat People sit in this lovely flower and are carried by sailors that to carrying others time devote Above the city in the linen blue sky Protected by basilisks that beneath it will fly There is something that through ages will never die Something ornamenting the cities’ azure sky It is like a spider web of crystals made of light To the eye it is delight The way it shines with more hues than are found in human normal sight It allows one to see entire spectrum of energy not just visible light The web is huge and light like honey dew As it turns from one color to different hue It was touched by very few Its surreal mesmerizing beauty is as if air got denser and in it spirit actually weighted pound or two And that is what it is after all Beyond mathematical living reflection of the soul And after all The only place where one can truly be free is in deepest essence of the soul
