Silence In the City

Imagine that 
all the sounds of
the city suddenly 
   become still 
               imagine that the 
entire city's 
population opened 
    their eyes 
to see the reality 
behind the shadows
of the metropolis
      between the sand 
     know that 
  millions of 
other hearts   
    beat to the 
soft drumbeat 
   as thousands move
slowly
    urban tapestry
unravels
