The Vancouver skyline at night - from Google
for the Thursday Think Tank prompt: The City
Night after night,
she walked the city streets,
lookingly longingly
in lighted windows.
A man brings a woman
a cup of tea.
She looks up from her book
and smiles.
What must that feel like?
In search of Home,
she walks on,
lonely,
miles and years of walking
city streets,
looking in at other lives,
longing for a place
for her heart to land.
Turned out she had been
carrying home around
inside her
the whole time.
