Flâneur

Life is fleeting, a whisper in time, 

A melody sweet, a rhythm, a rhyme. 

The hum of the streets, a symphony sweet, 

A dreamer in essence, the world at my feet. 

From dawn's first light to the setting sun, 

I marvel at all that life has spun. 

A laughter shared in the bustling square, 

A silent tear in the night's cool air. 

A sip of coffee in a crowded café, 

Where thoughts and dreams float and sway. 

The clink of glasses, a lover's gaze, 

I savor each step, each breath I take, 

Amid the hustle, a pause I make.

The laughter of children, a couple's dream, 

The weary old, a final scream 

In every tear, a hidden gleam, 

In every loss, a distant beam. 

So let me wander, let me rove, 

Through this city, my endless trove. 

To watch, to wander, to love, to live, 

To take each moment life will give.
