Sounds of the Night
I heard a long whistle blow
as it rippled across the pristine
valley, full of glistening snow.
I felt the trees brush off the
wind as that long, lonesome,
unlit train roared until it's end.
I shuttered deeply from the
bitter cold, for I sensed the
chill of the night's story had
yet to unfold.
Gathering my thoughts I looked
toward the sky and seen so many
stars twinkling undisturbed by
the sounds of the night.
Long glowing walkways through
the dark's horizon, slowly faded
out of sight.
A nibble at my nose a true reminder
of Winter's frozen bite.
Quite now and stillness is all that is
left, since that lonesome whistle
headed west.
