I craved them<BR/>Yet brighter glowed the headlights.<BR/>I burned to keep, to save them.<BR/>But other sparkles drew me<BR/>As bees are drawn to flowers.<BR/>For I could, as I flew, see<BR/>The neon-shining towers.<BR/><BR/>I found a roof and landed<BR/>Where shadows would surround me.<BR/>My hidden perch commanded<BR/>A view of all around me.<BR/>And what I saw amazed me<BR/>When peering through the windows.<BR/>What did men as they gazed see<BR/>In panels with their dim glows?<BR/><BR/>I stayed awhile and learned from<BR/>The humans with their bright things.<BR/>I heard of "cash", and earned some,<BR/>Enough to buy the right things.<BR/>For in the nights, while dreaming,<BR/>I knew that I must go back.<BR/>My hidden fires, still gleaming,<BR/>Without my care would go black.<BR/><BR/>Returning to my treasures<BR/>Within the mountains lightless<BR/>I rediscovered pleasures<BR/>Outwith electric brightness.<BR/>The embers glowed more redly<BR/>The fires had brighter spark<BR/>The lightning looked more deadly<BR/>Against a forest's dark.<BR/><BR/>But still I miss the cities<BR/>That glisten, gleam and shine<BR/>With countless coloured pretties<BR/>All crying to be mine.<BR/>But Wi-fi goes a long way,<BR/>And now my laptop's working.<BR/>I buy my lights on eBay,<BR/>And on this blog I'm lurking.<BR/><BR/>(from Making Light)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30557368.post-19962775313426605532007-10-12T16:51:00.000+08:002007-10-12T16:51:00.000+08:00beautiful kirti!beautiful kirti!Nehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148892630346325554noreply@blogger.com
