New York – My New Chance (One Stop Poetry)

The city sprawls in front of me

As I look out at the view

I find myself bedazzled

Wonder if can this city be true

The lights that fill the buildings

Make the night sky glow as though

They’re diamonds that now offset

A sunset the color of Bordeaux

The city seems to spill out

In every imaginable direction

One building taller then the next

A magnificient collection

Can hardly wait for morning to come

A chance for a fresh new start

I’ve waited all my life it seems

Now finally I’ll exhibit of my art
