The bright lights of this apartment home

The bright lights of this apartment home Twinkle like a candle in a cubby
Enough to draw the eye from afar
And make the stranger question why
These souls within rejoice
At the sight of one another

An unbroken agate stone
Shows but a cool grey coat
To those who look no farther

But beyond that first unwanted layer
Dazzling colour, heat and warmth
Lie in wait for those who seek to see.
