From dusk to dawn
The flurry of feet
Hurried along the street
The needs of the day
Their desire to meet.
—–
The street is a happy place to be
With many things that you get to see
Sometimes, it might even be a clown
Or a lady wearing a frown.
——-
At times, it’s a happy looking dog
With its owner going on a jog
Or the man with the briefcase
He seems to be quite in a haste.
——-
Some streets are dark
Some streets are light
Some streets are dirty
They’ll give you a fright
——-
Yet each street has its own soul
The heartbeats
Of the passing feet
That brings it to life.

” Each street had its own soul,” of this thoroughly agree. There are streets you love to visit and others that are terrifying to go down.
