Subject: Night Muse

In the cool wee hours of a lonely night
Turned my coat collar up to the cold,
Standing under a street lamp I lit a cigarette,
Phhhhhpp
Curls of smoked edited my view
3am, morning,cold, yet crisp,
I looked up
Above the Stars created a canopy

It was almost deserted, I felt so alone
I looked down the street where lovers walked
Eyes locked in a deep bliss of affection
One could almost hear their cooing and moaning
Images faded back into almost dreams

A little animal scuttled in front of me
What was that!

I thought and said out loud
"Wow it was beautiful",
No one either heard or listed
I was like an echo, a shadow.

This play of the night had me fascinated
In the distance, a siren wailed its' sad message
I could see flashing lights, screaming, begging
Poor souls
An emergency had called out to be part of my muse

Wind gathered and rustled trees in dimly light park
A drunk on a seat woke for an instant, yelled, went back to sleep
Dead Silence!
Noise became a waiting Hush
Slowly I walked down the cobblestone road towards my home
I reminisced on what might have been
But here I was a Figure alone, walking home in the night

I realised my part in the play this night had been important ..Yet..

The sun was just rising on the city

Somewhere a rooster crowed
......I was nearly home
