Shimmers and Glimmers
hidden pathways
glowing from afar
as I step into the night
the path I follow
to where I do not know
but then
does it really matter
as long as it leads
to somewhere I belong
echoes amore
as I drift on by
lazy people
to drunk to merry
to go on home
lovers entwined
hand in hand
sharing nay stealing
the night fantastic
street lights aglow
as if spot lights
upon each stone
an
as I step over them so
into the dark they fade
cats glare from the gloom
their eyes a green
like emerald flames
cautious of my presence
as if I'm stealing there time
a dog runs on by
barking at the dark
I do not see what it is
but hes gone non the less
water laps from the river
and I hear upon my senses
the cold damp smell
of water running flowing
past the people that sleep so
hustle and bustle of the day
now gone
all locked up
the only reminders
wrappers and boxes
upon the pavement
of a days sales
be it fruit be it vegetables
the creatures own the night
and I feel like I am but a invader
do they trust me
for I know they see me
my eyes not like theirs
able to see in and beyond
the murky depths
birds nest upon the trees
no sonnets heard
but the rustle of leaves
as the breeze blows on by
taxis slowly drive on
hoping for a straggler
on their way home
but not me
I wave them on
a walk I'm taking
and the walk I will walk
breathing in the air
embracing the night
just to see
how different it is
scary yet friendly
no friend
no foe
only strangers
out walking
on a moonlit night
