City Lights

When the sun eases up at dusk

Birds chirp their way to sleep

It is then that the city lights emerge

Below which I sit ecstatic to read.

To read the expression of the yawning child

Who walks his way up the street

The street Making it difficult for him to drag his un-customized bag.

He follows, as his footsteps lead.

To read the face of the couple

Trying to construct a chapter within

With their arms intertwined with trust

For their love story to begin

To read in between the lanes

The lanes that answer the slum roll call

Where kids run wild in their happy tune

Unaware of the world in its an ambitious haul

There comes chatter from the"gossip girls"

Talking their way aloud with a laughter beat

Making even the trees smile along

While listening to their parody

Taking a break from the hectic world

To breathe in the choicest air

I sit under the City lights for a while

To find the "here" in nowhere

As I see the moon clearing it's way through clouds

The dear temple bells playing the music of purity

To the day full of wonders and bout

I say see ya' tomorrow, to unbox a new troop of stories.
