the city hums

the city hums as we sleep. have you ever woken up from a deep slumber and find yourself in the velvet darkness of the night? that's when everyone's asleep. and your world just breathes steadily with just barely a sound. the city hums...

and you get up to get something to drink. soft light from the night light embraces your sleepy eyes. and you open your fridge and pour yourself a drink. aahh..cold water to quench the dry throat. to satisfy those parched lips.

you close your eyes as you drink. and you hear yourself take a gulp. for a moment the time stops. interrupted only by the sound your gulps make. and then its over. you look around and the humming begins again.

so soft a hum that its not even a sound. its like the world breathing on its own.
and you find it so peaceful.
calming.
its one of those rare times that the city is just like any other place in the heavens. everything makes sense. and the mind steers clear from all the hustles and bustles.
and you think to yourself, hey, this is what life is all about. it is about finding meaning to nothing and everything in the world. it's about making sense of this big jigsaw that we weave for ourselves..
its about finding perfection in all things imperfect.


its 3:30 AM now. and i've just woken up with the hum.
have a wonderful day.
