Contrasting Thoughts

The bay that is set across my city

I close my eyes

There is no breeze that has swept upon my face

I feel calm

My feet are in the water

Of the bay that is set across my city

Buses pass one by one

I'm ready to catch the next one

The city entices me to catch the next bus

It's getting late

All the birds on the horizon have travelled back to sleep

And the bats rise above the moon

Finding precious fruit wherever they may fly

I'm getting restless

It's time for me to go home

I'll fly away to my bed

And hear the ocean roar
