Bus Stop

My bus stop
Is like a little church
A place of silence
Rarely visited
I sit alone and
Watch the cars go by

People pass
And we say hello
Cars zoom by
Too fast
Let them go

All added up
I’ve sat for hours there
Over these years
Since giving up the car
I like it
It’s a quiet time
Sit and think of folk
And say a prayer
