Canvas

How beautiful it is to be so aware. 
Aware of the sea of people flowing so relentlessly beside you 
Observant of their different faces and emotions. 
Passing kitchen after kitchen serving bhaturas the size of human heads.
Conscious of the hot then cool gush of air as you drive by the canal banks
Of the bright hotel lights twinkling as if they were the stars themselves
The new moon sky where the glittering celestials got room to shine. 
Squinting through the darkness to get a glimpse of the river 
Peering at the homes dotting the hills around it. 
Finally you reach the end of line & the bright 'city' lights suck you back to reality.
The neon lights banish all the glorious darkness 
The canvas that would help you glow
