Through Glass

City lights
City lights
From my window I 
    can see them 
Hear the cars rushing by on the FDR drive 
The city is shrouded in darkness
Millions of stories in 
   this metropolis 
Some pleasant, some horrific 
My mind drifts off to 
    other shores 
where flowers blossom 
    and fish swim 
in a crystal - clear pool 
Water - like a mirror 
     catches my reflection 
If you open your soul to the 
   infinite
You will be rewarded

A beautiful poem Matthew. I really enjoyed reading this and envisioning the images as you describe them ... I have lived my entire life in rural areas and small country towns. I couldn't imagine what its like to live in such a big city as New York.
