Tree

All I am waiting for are words.
From my ghosts.
I want to make them real.

Like a loony watching the world through a glass.
Smiling, imagining I am one of them.

Only fear keeps me from pushing the doorknob.

They say it is never too late.
Do not believe in that.

Your train to a promised land will not wait.

Another one may not come.
