City lights twinkle, soft and low - Guiding the night, in its gentle flow.

Silent streets, in dreams they lay,

Embraced by the quiet, fading day.

Tired eyes seek night’s embrace,

As stars above, trace delicate lace.

The urban heartbeat, slow and deep,

Lulls its children into sleep.

Warm streetlamps, standing tall,

Casting shadows, over all.

Whispered secrets, the night does keep,

In the city’s gentle, rhythmic sleep.
