Awake

Sleepy morning I awake As the sun just breaks dawn The city hustling, bustling, rolling Hours before I yawn Good morning, life. The city rushes with energy As I stroll down the streets in peace People running to and fro This place never sleeps Slow down, life. Breathe. The cabs hum rhythmic little tunes The city dances, alive with soul Beep beep goes the trumpet and car horns Everything moves, but I am on hold I skip down the block, no anticipation Moving to the beat of my own tune Enjoying myself and forgetting the rest Life’s too short to be wasted so soon Art ‘round every corner Picnics to be held at the park Warmth to be found in every café Dancing and drinking and partying ‘til dark Jazz up your life. The night dies down But the city doesn’t relent Still moving to a quiet chaos I reflect on a day well spent Oh what a life.
