Street Lights

As the daylight starts to fade away

the hues of light now change

for the street lamps illuminate

sections of the street within their range

Lamps of the night, like stepping stones

stretch out along the pavement

capturing life in pools of light

trapping them into enslavement

Within the world of these bright lamps

Luminous spider webs are spied

woven around the light fixtures

though wind swept, they can still hide

So in the darkness of the night

many creatures will pass on by

through these little habitats of life

until the morning, when we say goodbye.

Street lamps can be an oasis of light and life......
