The Last Bus


Stood I, by the ever winding narrow road

There goes, the last bus, fully on load

The journey begins, as they throng even the footboards

I spotted his head, among the filing crowd

A heart leapt, then wept, in my eyes it showed

I waved frantically, lest the memories erode!

The horn hooted, got lost in pitter patter

Of a gloomy rain, by seconds it fell harder

Out came a puff from a shifted gear

Smoke mingled with scents of rain

I stood, cried and waved like insane

And watched the last bus disappear again
