A new day begins with the dark of night Cars **** by, leaving excessive gusts Few people stroll along But many hustle To reach the warmth of their homes The homeless beg for money Just some change, please Eyes downcast, head bowed, walk on by Caught up in your own mind Next time you'll give them some A mother sits by faint light on the 10th floor Her baby sleeps, but worries plague her Teenagers party the night away Deeming who's cool with a measurement of drinks I scan the city from a distance Peace overcomes me in this darkness Surely nothing is too bad The moon is shrouded in smoke Stars poke out to say goodnight Muffled, quiet noise pervades Busy starts to fade Take it all in Those glittering points in the jagged outline Against the onyx backdrop This art is now yours You share it And it's yours Hands in pockets, breath streaming out Slowly wander back To your tiny pinpoint Look out the window Night is intense Frosty snow glows in the dark This is all that should be Swirling, beautiful emotion...hold on to it For the day sheds harsh light on what was timid and joyful in the night

Scenes from the Night
A new day begins with the dark of night Cars **** by, leaving excessive gusts Few people stroll along But many hustle To reach the warmth of their homes The homeless beg for money Just some change, please Eyes downcast, head bowed, walk on by Caught up in your own mind Next time you'll give them some A mother sits by faint light on the 10th floor Her baby sleeps, but worries plague her Teenagers party the night away Deeming who's cool with a measurement of drinks I scan the city from a distance Peace overcomes me in this darkness Surely nothing is too bad The moon is shrouded in smoke Stars poke out to say goodnight Muffled, quiet noise pervades Busy starts to fade Take it all in Those glittering points in the jagged outline Against the onyx backdrop This art is now yours You share it And it's yours Hands in pockets, breath streaming out Slowly wander back To your tiny pinpoint Look out the window Night is intense Frosty snow glows in the dark This is all that should be Swirling, beautiful emotion...hold on to it For the day sheds harsh light on what was timid and joyful in the night
