Poem | City Life
The City I Miss
Prompt — Solo/Hush
It was with you that I found myself
It was you who set me free
It was you who gave me the courage to be solo
In you, I met the jerks and the sweethearts,
I felt the butterflies and the heartbreaks
But, in you, I found a place to call home
Many a time I walked solo, feeling lost in the crowd
In the middle of the hustle, you helped me stay hush
Being yet another face in the flock,
You helped me bury my worries in your noise
By looking at your lights from footbridges,
I felt calm amidst a thousand honks that filled my ears
I need to feel the stillness in your chaos,
I need to be lost in your crowd again
I want to fill my lungs with your air,
I want to feel your rain again
I miss you dearly, I miss the busy you
And I want you to be busy again
In response to the prompt- Solo/Hush, by Dennett
