PROSE POEMS – Maia Power<br />
<strong>The</strong> train is coming<br />
I stand on a platform. Around me hundreds of people huddle<br />
under umbrellas, trying to fight the wind. Rain lashes down<br />
relentlessly, escaping the skies above, sending freezing droplets<br />
to trickle down my back, and into my galoshes.<br />
But as my eyes leave the boots, a light splits the haze in the<br />
distance. It glides through the storm towards me, completely<br />
unaware of its surroundings. Grey-blue clouds look down on it<br />
with despair, but it doesn’t stop. Wind whips past its green<br />
carriages, but warm light still glows from within.<br />
<strong>The</strong> train is coming.<br />
