NIGHT WATCH

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ empty train platform~ midnight rain taps old tin roofs no footsteps echo a stray cat licks its wet fur under the flickering streetlamp

I can feel the aura of the place from your words. I don't think I would want to be there alone but then it could be a good time to catch up on reading or listening to some tapes or some music. Thanks for sharing your gift with us. Sara K

I'm with you, Sara K.....not sure I'd want to be alone either. When I know I'll be waiting somewhere, I take a book or crossword puzzle with me. hugs, and blessings, Sara
