The Platform

Standing alone
waiting
wondering

Where has it been
Where is it going

The chill of the evening
The damp settles to
reflect the lives
of those sleeping inside

The dark of the evening
The silence lingers
Reflects the emptiness
The loneliness inside

Behind the shadow
The platform calls
Come aboard
Come aboard

I am often "called" to ride a train. I find no loneliness in the journey.

Beautiful picture! I took a long train trip this fall and did not find it to be lonely at all. However, your picture reflects that feeling. I love all your pictures, your poems, and reflections.
