More Sydney details

Sydney should be known as the city of lights.

It gets dark here at around 5pm and the lights start flickering on. First, one area and then another and before you know it the entire city is light up like a Christmas tree (a cliche I know but I still love it). You can see the lights roll across the city like a huge wave rolling across the beach.

The city lights make the place just a little bit more interesting. Orange here, bright white over there and it reminds you that even if you are alone in this big city, you are never really lonely. Its a pleasure to realise that daybreak can steal the lights away just like night fosters them onto the city.

I am starting to love the city lights. I am starting to appreciate the way their beauty is allowed to show in the night sky. I am starting to realise that people look at them in wonder, when really they should be turning their faces skyward and looking at the moon and stars.

The artificalness of the lights is a reminder to me of everything that I dont have, while I am jaunting in Sydney. I miss my stars the real lights of the night. The way that they light up my path when I get home on a particular inky night is amazing, sometimes it feels as though they are just put there for me.

But for now I will be content with what I have. For they are the stars that are lighting my world at the moment and they will make me appreciate what I have at home, far more than never having them at all.
