City Lights

Walking through the night time of the city.
Feel the warmth of city lights passing by.
Creeping in and out of shadows of dark.
Dark, real dark.

Shades of black preserve lack of color.
The color you'd think a bottomless abyss would.
Stroll by Amsterdam Avenue off Monroe Drive.
Though it's dark,
Thick,
And slow.

Shapes in the distance.
Sidewalk of gray.
Moonlight of silver.
Stars over the bay.

Headlights of shining.
City lights of wonder.
Strolling in the moonlight.
Going outside for more.
