la ville

Sigh 

the skyscrapers loom 

the metro hums

cars speed past

artists try their luck 

performing on the street

or in the subway 

there are spices in the air

a fruit market displays 

a glimpse of country life 

but fields are hard to imagine 

crowds leave the theater late at night

yellow cabs all in a row like floating ducks

people rushing home from work 

cold evening urging them on 

the stained glass windows 

have grown dim 

the world feels ALIVE 

but there is sadness too

he sleeps on the street 

cold and hungry 

sigh 

i wouldn't want to be 

anywhere else 

but here 

there is sin and filth 

yet goodness and hope 

tattoos and doom preachers 

everybody's got a story 

what's my sexuality 

everyones looking for love

sigh 

in the city there's room for everybody 

the busy streets and tall spires 

don't judge 

we're all in it together 

trying to find our way home

Thank you both.. there is no greater privilege than to be heard

Captured well young Prince!
Your words encapsulate the spirit of the big City.
You have the movement, the urgency, the implacability
..and the attachment
