Love Poem: The City

The City

From some place high and far away.

Not too far away.

A concrete habitat gilded with glass, steel and twinkling electric light.

I like to watch the city from afar.

Like a voyeuristic deity I eat it up greedily with my eyes.

My minds' eye cannot grasp it all, the complexity, the multitudes of people.

This is how I, above all else, humble myself.

Because I am but one drop of water in a fathoms upon fathoms deep ocean.

Like everyone else, I must go with the force of the tides now and forever more.

We are all powerful when our droplets come together into a single massive wave.

We erode, steadily but surely, the obstinate rocks on the shore.

This is love.

Perhaps someone can see me. 

A tiny silhouette of a man, holding a railing somewhere.

I will wave hello just in case.
