Cars, lights, thoughts…

I am gonna pretend today is 31st April.

---

Up from this ninth floor

These infinite number of cars go past

Light glaring, zooming out in seconds

These high-rises and their hundreds of apartments

Waking, sleeping, the city is active

Those lights that form a pattern

Real beauty at night

Overpower those little stars

Barely visible through this sky

Everyone on a journey

Towards God knows where

In search of a home? A destination?

A feeling of belonging?

Leaving behind the roads, the people, the lights

Without a second glance

Indifferent to the path

Finding the way to Nowhere

Blazing into Nothingness

And then there’s this red light

Sudden stillness

Tik-tok, tik tok

Seconds seem like infinity

Beeping past a life on rush

Breaking the flow, crushing the routine

It takes a second

To realize the signal changed

It’s green again

That one second, you notice the path along

The break in flow stumbles you out

The Journey has now begun.

Towards the countless red lights,

Towards questions,

Towards beginnings and endings

Non stop.

Up from the ninth floor

These infinite number of cars go past

Each waiting to find their abode

But going on the path to The Path.

So…up from this new ninth floor house of mine, the view is really nice! Happy 31st everyone! [Please play along. I couldn’t write on 30th! 😦 

April went great. I wrote pieces that were rubbish, but I wrote and it was a great experience. Couldn’t write for 3 days though, but anyway not that bad! Surely doing this again next time, maybe with better epilogues.

On The Journey…
