~

Sometimes, very early in the morning as life begins to stir,

I hear a train whistle blow in the far off distance,

a most melancholy sound; nonetheless, when I hear it

I feel all is well in the world and so my day begins anew.

 

… And just the thought, the knowing,

that somewhere,

others are going about their daily business

makes me feel not alone,

a part of the living of life happening all around me.
