Hot as the night when fire rages on.
A new day did beckon like it was all along.
A familiar fiddling song. A cry from outside.
Not a tear, but a party, for fear, did reside.
"Don't look now!" A voice bellowed out.
"Look out!" A new voice. A voice shouting out.
A surprise for them both. Neither one could explain.
Thunder and lightning. A fast-moving train.
What they did see, neither one could believe.
A train made of lightning. A prophecy, foreseen.
The foreseen, it became lost to the folk in the town.
Voices once loud, now quiet around.
