An Edge of the city Sunset

 

   It takes time, load of it, before a new city turns into anything along the lines of 
   A common hangout spot, a weekly diner, an evening stroll you take effortlessly,

  It takes longer to love a city, that too at its edge. 
 Three long eventful years later, i found a place at the edge of the city;
  with the whole city, its people, music & its antics.

 With the most spectacular views, 
With innumerable stories, each undisturbed by the other,
Just existing as it is, just the way i like it. 

Photographers behind bushes aiming their perfect shots,
Kids restless, waiting to move on to the next interesting thing. 
Older humans, at ease, with their pets and relaxed smiles, 
And me, with my anything but quiet mind. 

When Detroit is turning more than just home. 
Where everyday dreams are now in this city, 
How everything i hoped for, is slowing, very subtly, most beautifully, 
Finding its way to me, such is Detroit's edge of the city sunset.
