I’m watching the trees outside my room

The dulling light creates the gloom

A streetlight flickers, as it awakes

An eerie sight it starts to make

I sit in darkness, all alone

But not to cry, or gripe or moan

I like my life and where I’m at

I’ve lived my dreams of this and that

The darkness is falling faster still

As houses light up and streetlights fill

The daylight fades, but the night time sun

Lights the world, and peoples fun

I watch the people return from work

To just relax or go berserk

To pubs and clubs they all depart

As the evening becomes the start

They leave the hum drum all behind

For fun and leisure they will find

Some men on mobiles walk their dogs

The dogs chase rabbits and sniff at hedgehogs

A group of women pass my room

Off on a night out they all must zoom

The cars are driving far too fast

A gang of youths has just walked passed

They’ll cause some trouble for some poor soul

But they’ll be happy they made their goal

And as my eyes feel heavy and tired

I look at the world that I admired

The evening’s ending once again

But tomorrow they’ll be back, sunshine or rain

I close my eyes and drift away

To sunnier places where I will stay

Well for a while at least till morn

Then the day will be reborn
