Waiting at train stops
Watching trains wisp by in a blur
I can see their faces
Wishing one of them were mine
.
A black bird sings
Singing a lonely tune
Reaching out to me
Asking me to fly away
.
I close my eyes
Thinking of long forgotten roads
Roads that have fallen off maps
Waiting to be found
.
Silence jolts me from my thoughts
The train is no longer to be seen
Only the yearning remains
The black bird has flown away
.
