Wailing Echoes Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Wailing Echoes



Wailing into the night, echoes gathering around,
listening to a lonely whistle as a train passes
through town.

Taking passengers to destinations that I will
never see, wanting to follow that lone and lonely
whistle into the night.

As it calls to my inner being, placing an insatiable
longing for the sounds of a train whistle holding me
prisoner as it continues echoing throughout my mind.

Never letting me forget the loneliness that haunts
me every night when a train passes through town -
tears running through my mind.
