I saw the lights and they did glow
City streets where we abode
I walked a path no one did know
Suburban blights were no less slow
Friday night shine and then explode
I saw the lights and they did glow
Illuminating my shadow
Each passing car my walk corrode
I walked a path no one did know
The city soon was far below
One light for another soon erode
I saw the lights and they did glow
To the edges of nowhere I did go
Many man would not have strode
I walked a path no one did know
In the sky the stars now show
Creating my path, my very own road
I saw the lights and they did glow
I walked a path no one did know

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

I like your little refrain. It felt like coming home. I could picture the image your poem painted. Well done.
Beautiful words, can see and feel it as I read
Excellent word and street and city lights hide so much from us, but that could be said of many things
My head said this poem in so many different ways: at first it was a sad poem, then it was a folk song, then it was like a poetic narration of someone's journey. Either way, I love this poem, haha!!
