Fourth Place - Living The City by Fred Briggs

Transfixed while all around me swirled The buildings

looked down in disdain as i stood gaping on that first day

Now an old friend the city hums a beguiling tune

and dances with people and life My heart sings along

 

So much happening A metropolis of choices

From work to pub to art the city invites It speaks my name

calling from nooks and corners that only dwellers know

and places friends both new and old are found

 

It grows and breathes but it’s still my size Alive by day

Aglow at night Enchanting is this three dimensional realm

Soul soothing as a sunset seen from the thirty second floor

Magical moment Magical life
