For a Moment

City lights caress her face,
excitement pulsates dull veins,
hopes and dreams soon interlace,
free will breaks insecure chains.

Hungry steps narrate her pace,
nightlife rhythm cures all strains,
sorrows instantly erase,
only pure passion remains.

Music guides her to this place,
smokey mirrors pour champaign,
waltz around with pride and grace,
hard work week drifts into space.

Dance to clear off tough rat race,
energy dismisses pain,
joyful laughs greet to embrace,
release fails, focus on gains.
