Rainy Evening

Restless souls 
   wander in shadow 
as the clock winds down 
            Later darkness will 
descend upon them  
 leaving no time 
for farewells 
   This world we have created 
from coal, iron and steel 
     leaves those souls 
    on a long and winding road 
in this "Brave New World"
