She is Dubai

She soars high like she can reach the sky,
She glistens before the sun falls to nigh,
She awakens with the beauty of night,
She brings a smile to the city of light.

She opens her eyes to see a new day,
She stops for no one in her way,
She burns in the heat of her own pace,
She does not falter, she stands strong with grace.

She is as intricate as each grain of sand,
She is as complex as the centre of a desert land,
She is the essence of life to those who know her,
She is to others just a fleeting moment of adventure.

She awakens with the beauty of night,
She smiles gracefully through the city of light,
She soars high to reach the sky,
She glistens through her spirit, after all, she is Dubai.
