Manhattan night

So cool and clear

I walk alone

‘Cause you’re not here

I see the lights

They beckon me

Out on the town

Life flowing free

Streetside vendors

Sell their wares

While couples laugh

Without a care

The city calls

I’m going home

Walk up the street

Tonight alone

      Thank you, Laura. I am very glad you enjoyed it. I was going for a mood. Not sure if I hit it or not. 😊

        The vibe is felt, I’ve never been to Manhattan (thankfully? 🤪) but I felt the walking on the crowded streets with the lights and all…a lonely walk, surrounded by people. Often the weirdest feelings, when you’re around a bunch of people but feel totally alone. It happens.

        It happens a lot more than most of us let on.

    Beautiful imagery, Kevin. Some of us are alone more than others.

      Thank you very much, Mary. Indeed, some are. We only know what we see on the surface, really.

    I’ve felt this a few times in NY, without a particular person not there in mind, just a distinct kind of aloneness.

      Distinct, and yet, not altogether always unwelcome in my experience.

        Rather rich ground for its distinctness.
