I think it is finished...although I will probably change it 100 more times. None

Question:New York's Quiet Voice

My feet play a melody on this brick sidewalk,
Humbled, I think of who walked here before.
Cracks reveal that this path is well worn,
Millions of souls wandered this city I adore.

But, I begin to wonder, how many of them heard?
How many slowed long enough to listen?
Stomps and shouts, cars speeding by quickly,
This is the city's whisper that you've been missing.

The tender wind that blows all around you,
Is her way of saying "just walk around".
Forego the taxi, put your wallet away,
Be carried by only her rhythms and sounds.

Lose yourself in her harmonious words,
You may feel someone's dreams coming true.
That bench's paint is chipped and wearing away,
Perhaps someone great sat there before you.

I've stopped here to ponder many times before,
Yet every day is different than the last.
I am an explorer, this city is my voyage,
I hope it's future is as extraordinary as it's past.

I could feel everything you described. It was wonderful. Your every word was an adventure. I think its perfect, I hope you don't change it. Spend the rest of your creative urge on more poems, lol I want to hear more.

This is really good actually . Best I read in a while
Flows like a river . You definitely have talent

This flows beautifully, I would love to hear it read out. You have a marvelous skill with words that a lot of people don't have, or ignore. Please, grace the world with your poetry, it is lovely!

Wow! Not only does it flow perfectly, it's powerful! =)

really good......... the ending kind of lead me away from here i thought you were going with it... i thought that you wanted to be heard or wanted to hear everything (past and future) but it seems like u are trying to rediscover old things.... (aka i think the ending could leave the reader with a question) but it's really good

I live in London a city full of life, I don't know where your poem is about but London is most definitely a man, an old one at that. Where as Paris is a beautiful woman. I enjoyed your poem it tells how feel about the city very well, I think if you were a bit more descriptive about city it's self it would improve your poem, any way well done.
