The Mid-Night Train

The silence carries no rest for me.
Like a mid-night train my mind trails…
It is neither here nor there; rather everywhere.
Around-n-round; the answer eludes me yet!

No solace is there in the still…
The noise of it; screams inside my head.
Trailing still; the mid-night train…
No rest; just brief stops on a never-ending rail.

Oh! Make it end…
As I rush ahead from start to stop; ceaseless!
This journey is one that leads nowhere!
Around-n-round; running still…

The Mid-night Train inside my head;
No passengers, just empty air…
Around-n-round; with vacant chairs!
I know no silence, no peace… no end…
