Night In The City
there is never any silence in the city.
at night it trembles
with the stirrings of men and machine.
bodies toss
or sleep in safe comfort
unaware of the night.
sounds of nature
are replaced by the restlessness
of modern man.
stars gaze down from light years away
bringing illumination born
when our forbearers were but gleans
in the eyes of their fathers.
even now
staring at the darkness which surrounds me
I know
this city will be forever restless
no matter how
or when I rest.
