Where I Find Peace

Escaping the honks
From inside the city
To observe
A day’s end. 

It moves in the slowest motion,
The sun sets and
Stars appear
But not in the sky.

Through grey architecture, 
The constellation of
Business,
Homeless,
Artists,
Reflect in 

The water, with

Little flickers of 

Warm light.

I feel centered, my seat
Melted into
Blades of grass.
My eyes scan across,
Wondering about the

Lives of each
Shining window,
My thoughts
Interrupted by
Allure.
