Night In New York
This city demands to be explored
It aches with the yearning of a living metropolis
The broad masses of the people
take sustenance from it
One cannot help but believe that
the city is a living organism
Does time tell everything?
Time is a manic relative of this city
If you know this you can survive in this urban homeland
You can thrive when
you know that
the swift pace of life here
keeps you on your toes
You can survive
when you realize
that the millions pounding the pavement
are searching for the peace you seek
The bright lights which shine in the shadows
are reflected in a million eyes
Every time you see a smile in this city
Treasure it
for the hectic pace of this asphalt homeland
allows for only brief moments of love
