Curtain Call

The night calms with a rumble, 

I hear the echo of the train 

I concentrate so deeply 

It is driving me insane. 

 

The crickets have stopped chirping, 

the wind is blowing still 

there is no sign of the bird 

tapping at my windowsill. 

 

All is but so silent, 

the world is shaded dark 

as I lay here in question 

for a journey, I embark. 

 

I gently close my eyes, 

all worries tossed just like a ball 

I breathe in and back out 

my final curtain call.
