Lisboa (translation below)

A Poem by 外人 (Gaijin)
"

Coming back home, had the amazing pleasure of watching from above the city of Lisbon at night and the capital of the "old empire" (talking about the Portuguese one) inspired me this :)

"
Lisboa, ouro
artificial contra a 
noite mais negra.
 
Translation:

Lisbon, artificial
gold against the
darkest night.

Good visions create by your words. I like the chance to read the poem in two languages. Thank you for the excellent poem.

This gives the same feeling as seeing in real life...prEtty:)
When above a city, god's-eye-view, we can feel removed from mankind's grind of the world but somehow closer to its heart.
