Dusk Descends on Durham: An Evening Palette on Main and Morris

In Bull City’s lap, where history sleeps and wakes,
Under twilight’s tender gaze, the cityscape remakes.
With grace in its core, the bull stands in might,
While ancestors’ whispers float into the night.

In the embrace of change, where old meets new,
A dance of shadows and light, a diverse crew.
Skylines stretch upwards, reaching for dreams,
As history's fabric tugs at the seams.

Gentle is the hum of the growing town,
Where progress wears its sparkling crown.
Yet, in the bustling streets, the bull’s eyes gleam,
Guarding the legacy, a perpetual beam.

The crossroads of Main and Morris hum with tales untold,
Of cotton and tobacco, of Durham’s days of old.
Now pixels and code, on screens they sprawl,
In high-tech havens, they stand tall.

May the Bull City’s stride never falter nor fail,
Through seasons of change, through every gale.
Let its spirit soar high, like Angelou’s caged bird’s song,
With roots deep and firm, where they truly belong.

In this city's heart, history and future are spun,
In the threads of the twilight, and the last slanting sun.
As Crane’s bridge arching forth, in splendorous flight,
We hold to our past, as we step to the height.

I often work in the “Bull City” and was inspired by this sunset after a successful business trip.
