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
