After a difficult few days
Apartment hunting (again)
And feeling like NYC is harsh and hard and
Sometimes downright impossible
A work friend gave a group of us a free pass to the top of the
Empire State Building
And it was sunset
And even though it was overcast
There was a pink and orange glow to the west
And the bird’s eye view
Of this gorgeous glorious difficult beautiful city
Made my heart swell
And when we came downstairs
I could hear piano music
And we made our way around the lobby
And there tucked away in the corner
Was a pianist
Playing Christmas carols and jazz standards on a baby grand
And it all felt possible
