I love sprawling metropolises, the megacities
Where construction never does cease
Of skyscrapers and business empires
Cities that represent ambition, success and desire..
Walking through crowded sidewalks and squares
I imbibe the ambition hanging in the air
My heart pulsates with the rhythm fast-paced
Of the cacophony of myriad sounds of the place
I return from a city, completely energized
I throw myself into work so my goals can be realized
*
I equally love small towns where time seems to slow down
The idyllic town squares, the quaint downtowns
Appeal to my creative side, serving to inspire
Me to pour on paper or canvas my desires
Where I can sit for hours in a bohemian cafe and daydream
Where the concept of slow living reality does seem
I return from small towns, relaxed and rejuvenated
My craving for simplicity thoroughly satiated
*
I live neither in a metropolis nor a town that is small
My home a mid-sized city I call
Where the pace of life is neither dizzyingly fast nor too slow
Therefore to both large cities and small towns I go
When I travel, I like both in equal measure
Diametrically opposite experiences in both kinds of places I treasure
Passion...unbridled
