 | Praha (Prague) is a beautiful old city. It's also incredibly cold during the middle of the winter. It was completely worth nearly freezing off my extremities to spend a couple of days exploring it. |  | This post has been awarded 19 stars by 4 readers. |  | This post is Part 4 of a writing series titled Cities. |
Praha, beautiful city, filled with shining lights,
Sometimes old and weary, somehow new and bright.
Endless winding streets whisper of ghosts from long ago.
Open ancient squares are full of faces I do not know.
You speak to me, in voices I do not understand.
I am an awkward stranger in a beautiful, native land.
You’ve chilled me to the bone 'neath the darkness and the lights.
I don’t know how I shall be warm in my hostel room tonight.
Yet there is no coldness in my heart; no need to make amends,
As I sit amid the warmth and smiles in the comfort of my friends.
And I know in my heart, with a depth I cannot comprehend,
That I shall miss you wholly when my journey comes to its end.
