Nicely done. Short but takes the reader on a splendid lifetime journey both inwardly as well as a vivid external view

A fine piece this is, it gave us a full journey for dawn to dusk of a life. Nicely penned. Best to you in the contest

Maybe it's just me but I seem to have missed you poetry lately.
This reminds me why I enjoy it so much.

Amazing, and I too had a 'New York' inspiration for this contest, for some reason.
All the best Lady Di.
