Strolling on the pavement
Giddy senses aroused in my heart
Feelings of new experiences
Beneath vast buildings towering over
Pitter patter of broken dreams
Hopeful thoughts of new ones
A small piece in a large puzzle
Perspective is everything
One slim part of this giant city
New beginnings and various ends
Hopes and dreams beginning
Tragedy binds it all together
Successes awaken it
Billions of threads intertwined
An energy all of its own
The city that never sleeps
Constantly moving
The big apple
Voices of 8.4 million
Laughs and cries escaping
The concrete jungle
New York City
