The Night Bus

Grumbling, rumbling down the wet pavement.

The warm red glow of the night bus approaches. 

With a halting screech and a sigh, squeaky doors spring open.

The bus kneels and offers refuge from the falling rain.

In the cozy compartment weary souls sit in safety.

Raindrops create streams down the large side windows.

As the night bus barrels on into the night. 

Inhale, Exhale, and give thanks to the night bus.
