The market seems a little busy tonight,
The warm lights make takyi come to life.
The ambience feels a little too serene,
Am I in a dream?
The coffee blends just fine,
The Christmas tree buzzing with a bright shine.
The bookshelf is placed just right,
It captures my gaze,
A walk through stories divine.
The music, a piano and guitar strings,
A ball dance? It clings.
The host graciously sits beside,
A laptop, a coke and a smile.
As I live through all of them at once,
It unearths something, so long hidden.
I wish to stay a moment or two,
But then I realize I am not meant to.
The winds sing my name,
I remember why I came.
As I unhinge the door,
Takyi pulls me more.
I step into the cold night,
Hands in pocket, I wish I could write,
The music fades slowly..
The night grows on me,
A story? A poem? Or a dream?
I have an eternity to yearn...
