There are nights of neon,
where the pavement cries,
the windows cast shadows,
the city runs purposeless.
These nights, I am in space,
and midair on the moon, I stare back
into this glowing orb of blue and green.
Amidst endless black, I imagine it burning,
the most bizarre thing I have ever seen,
and I ask, for what? Like they say of life,
all a striving after the wind.
A combination of a morning reading of the Bible and a challenge from a friend to write a poem based on the word "globe".
