The Juggling Tracks

Me sitting at half past twelve

On the stairs of a railway platform

The footfalls have fallen

And the floor beneath the staircase

Shrieks out..come out of it

The last train has left

And the tracks glare past

In the shimmering moonlight

But the mind stays in the past

Waiting for the last whistle

The little fluttering of the red flag

That says all’s well; yet people

Wait past the midnight hour

For the sounds of the changing lines

And the whispering of the overdrawn coaches

That are yet to arrive

With hopes yet to live and enact

In the play called life

I wait for the whistling beauty

Shrouded in the thick black smoke

The eyes are weary...heavy

From the weight of anticipation

The heart says go on nobody’s coming

The mind says wait as life

Surely gives another chance

The body says who cares

Just snuggle past the foot falls

Give me a rest and wait for the train

That is yet to juggle past and make

The wait a possible reality !!
