The lavish, velvet green blades
hold droplets of midnight dew.
Street lamps marvel high above
the darkened pavement
intently shedding a ray of sunshine.

Houses loom massively along
the man made cement paths.
Trees stand somber; as
birds peacefully sleep
in the lifeless limbs.

Signs creak
while the soft alluring
night air blows.. finding
the weaknesses that that go unnoticed.

City streets, now barren,
illuminate the gesture of peace,
contentment, of silence.. for now.
