Pools of light

Pools of Light

through the evening shadows

as the sun slowly slips away

street lights start to brighten

at the end of the working day

pools of light, like stepping stones

brighten the city`s walkways

as nightfall slowly covers the town

they set all the streets ablaze

within each circle of lamp light

you`ll find a little world exists

insects, moths and small particles

where many are unable to resist

so in the darkness of the night

many creatures will pass on by
through these little habitats of life
til the down, when we say goodbye
