#CityLifeVerse

A city never sleeps,
for, it carries the dreams,
of millions, that call it home...
Always in a rush,
not a moment of pause,
striving to earn, a better position.

A melting pot of cultures,
with people that mingles,
creating a diverse community...
Being a center of commerce,
proving opportunities to everyone,
welcoming all, into its embrace.

And I, watched them all,
from towering buildings,
to the widened roads...
These crowded streets,
accompanying the noisy traffics,
do create...a vibrant scene.

Being too attuned,
to these unfolding chaos,
even the stillness, astounds me...
Yet, there are such days,
everything comes into standstill,
when we take shelters, in the downpour.

Ah, the rains, bringing the blessings,
letting us stop, observe the happenings,
as the slates, are being cleared...
Oh sky, the dark clouds we see,
providing respite, from fast-paced life,
for a while, and make us realize,
there's a beauty, beyond our amenities.
