A cool winter's night <br />Shadows from the moon light <br />The city masked in dark <br />And this late hour marked <br />By a clock in plain sight <br /> <br />Tick tock the clock goes <br />As the numbers slowly grow <br />The clouds circle round <br />As it makes it's constant sounds <br />The piercing wind blows <br /> <br />No matter what the hour <br />The clock has no power <br />Liveliness never dies <br />Even in the skies <br />Light comes in showers <br /> <br />Shadows paint the streets <br />But the city never sleeps <br />Tick tock the clock goes <br />As the numbers slowly grow <br />Hidden and silent it creeps <br /> <br />The city never stops <br />So forgotten is the clock <br />Blinded by the city lights <br />They continue without fright <br />For fear of time is locked <br /> <br />Tick tock the clock goes <br />As the numbers slowly grow <br />Hidden and silent it creeps <br />But the city never sleeps <br />Disappearing quiet and slow<br /><br />Kayla Roberts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-city-never-sleeps/
