The lights of a bright and lively city shine over dark sky. warm stretch for miles yet their warmth could not reach me. I stare longly cold dark painful sad. across each individual light forming line that stretches across the night Birds flutter side buildings cutting from windows. Their inky shade sucks all as it passes by flutters How would be to fly bird into gray clouds under white moon above towers. my beak slice through air wings lift me up. feathers ruffle behind glide further To settle upon pond lit moonlight just far enough away see towers but hear sirens cars. stand shallow beach drink refreshing water surrounds feet. amongst other birds or alone drinking in radiance. Basking luminescence reflected moon.
