The City's Lullaby

Steel giants pierce, the twilight's embrace,

A symphony of horns, fills the bustling space.

But wait, a hush falls, on the concrete stair,

As the city slumbers, with a weary air.

Streetlamps cast halos, on empty avenues,

Shadows stretch long, like dreams come true.

Taxi horns fade, a distant refrain,

Replaced by crickets, in a soft, gentle rain.

A lone rooftop view, with stars peeking through,

A million tiny lights, whispering anew.

The city's heartbeat, slows to a sigh,

A moment of peace, against the endless sky.

For even concrete jungles, find moments of rest,

A tranquil embrace, before the day's next test.

So listen closely, when the city sleeps tight,

And hear the lullaby, of the fading light.
