Wanting Not The Light

Stuffed full of nothing
I listen for the sound of the train whistle
Remembering the first time I heard it
Calling in the distance
Haunting, hollow full of longing
Desperate to break the night in two
Melancholy I am wanting
As I disappear into the grey, drained
Silenced and aching if only for today
Without a conscious reason
I strain to hear that train once more
Knowing it will come again soon
Crying in the silence
Pining, poignant full of yearning
Frantic to break me in two
Downhearted I am growing
As I revel in the night, soaring
Whirling and wanting not the light .

Haunting, hollow – full of longing
Desperate to break the night in two....
this is a splendid bit of writing. Nothing more lonesome than the sound of a train in the distance...never knowing if it is coming or going, sometimes emotion is the same. June

I feel it too, Snemmy. I do understand this, and I do relate to it, too.
I have an incling that you may have felt the same as I did when I wrote my latest, but don't quote me on that, K? I'm probably wrong.
Great write hun,
*hugs* Phil |

Aw, tis sad. However, brilliantly written.
You really have a way with words....even through life's struggles.
*huge hug* Sorry it's late but I wasn't even aware of YPDC in 2004.
Take care,
Timber

Yes, Snemmy, deep introspection at it's finest. I have to believe you and Emily Dickenson are kindred spirits!
