Lights In the City

The lights are on all throughout the city The vast amount of light exists around The fainting love spell, such divinity A long enhanced greatness so abound Pieces of delight are within each scene The lights are on all throughout the city Cars express their glory, by lights they’re seen And each home brings about light pleasantly Passion floats within the air completely There are immense delights while just roaming The lights are on all throughout the city Enlightenment shown by all approaching Like a swinging light switch in a warm room Baring the basics of necessity Misty eyed people approach without doom The lights are on all throughout the city Russell Sivey

'Cars express their glory'...Wow Russel, what a description and the whole poem perfectly describes the exitement of a big city at night. I drive through Atlanta often and I always get a big thrill out of it, especially when I pass the airport and see those monster jets flying in to land...Good stuff here my friend - Tim
