Delay

I was late
The train left me
I’m alone on the empty platform
Tweflth-day moon has set
Under cloudy sky moon couldn’t be seen

I was late
The Ferry left the wharf
Alone I gaze at the sporty waves
Exhausted and at day’s end
Night falls, darkness covers the earth

I was late
The train left me
I stood alone on the empty platform.
