the sound of glass shattering
as it plunges
from a great height
to join with the floor
and explode, into a million pieces.
in the distance
the lights
twinkle.
fading in
and out. The smell of partially combusted fuel
mixing with the sound of breaking glass
bring both together
a cacophony of emptiness
in the distance
always twinkling lights.

@docandersen I don think it is, my friend.
to each their own, we live lives as we see fit.
Wonderful song. I love to observe water with shadows.
the dance of light upon the water! so do i!
I haven’t seen it up close. I wish I can experience this in the future.
it is an interesting experience!
I often watch lights of Dehradun from Mussorie a hilly town in Himalayas. Dehradun is about 35 km by road but only 8 km if we walk through the hilly walking road. A different experience both watching the distant lights from both the cities and walking on steep rising or coming down the slope. We have number of such opportunities in Himalayan towns. Being a traveler I have had a number of distant light watching opportunities of water sitting on the sea shores and beaches in different countries. You have posted a great image here!
beauty lies within lights regardless. Thanks – you have added a dimension to my poem!!!
Looking at beauty even in a disaster only a poet can do
Thank you, seeing the possible, I like that!
Wonderful poetry. I always love watching lights reflected on water and neon lights in rain puddles.
I find myself often wondering what the lights thought.. 🙂
Great song or poetry … I do not get to know you so much … you’re a great poet, dear friend
I find poetry to be something I can call from time to time and we remain old friends.
It’s always good to have such a friend … I read your songs all the time, dear friend
