City Lights

Pretty self explanatory.

On this day,
Twenty years before

I entered the world

I wonder what was different then,

Was everything the same?

My life began

My life will end

Memories blend all into one

Stop and shake a coconut tree.

The city lights are always shining,

My deepest fear is that I am inadequate

One light that no longer shines

Won't leave the city in darkness.

Though I do not completely understand the line about a coconut tree or its presence in the writing, I enjoyed the way the piece as a whole made me stop and think. Well done.

I love this. The hint of curiosity to what life was like before you were born in nice.
