Lamp Post Poem by David Taylor

Lamp Post

Rating: 5.0


Leaning on a lamp post
Watching all the world go by
Commuters are rampaging
Going for the 6.25
Mothers with babies
Crying out for tea
Teenagers with Teenagers
Hanging out to see
Elderly silently walking
Walking on by
Occasionally someone
Catches my eye
But mostly invisible
Like a fly on a lamp post
Watching all the world go by

Leaning on the lamp post
Invisible like a fly
Watching all the life
As it goes by
From one lamp
To the next
We all travel through life
With just enough light
To see through the shadows
And sometimes
Just pausing in the light
Still and watching
As life passes by.
