Calm and Beautiful Surroundings

As I stand here
The soft, cool breeze dances around me
Twinkling lights form in the clear, night sky

Human faces beam with happiness and warmness
As though there are no worries in the world
The chattering of voices continues

The alleyway, calm and quiet
People reminisce with their lovers
Stillness in the air

I remain untouched
Absorbing the beautiful wonders around me
My body exposed and frail

This poem is written in the perspective of a chair. Vincent Van Gogh painted Cafe Terrace at Night and this was my inspiration.
