I love the city at night
I like when the waves start rumbling
And the city lights turn on
I like the beautiful sights
Of the twilight sky
And the mountains all dressed in black
I like when it's hidden away
When everything the daylight shows
Disappears
All the beauty that's destroyed
All that's been taken away is concealed
Because when I look on and on
When my eyes gaze upon...
The darkness
I don't see all the disaster
The city lights, the waves and the sky
Draped in violets and pinks
As the airplanes fly
And I think, what a beauty!
What a city of dreams
When the visible is made to be unseen
Unseen...
I see the cars passing
With their beaming lights
But they all seem somehow much sweeter
And closer to starlight
I see the palm trees standing proud
In a place where they do belong
But there's so few around
And even the people seem much brighter
When the nights come to hide
the effects of human disaster
A comfort blanket
Listen to the waves
And forget the sounds of the traffic
That I can't stand anymore
Found my comfort in the night
Found my solace at this time
Found the beauty of life
In the city
At night

This is another poem that I have written while staying in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria las summer. After 2 months, I couldn't take all the business of the city anymore. I became too overwhelmed during the daylight hours and found peace in the nights. ✨
