Whisper of Paper

Suspended among the silent whistles of the tracks,
a paper balloon whispers forgotten dreams;
it collects them among tickets and rusted clocks,
caressing the silence of the abandoned station.
Each dream becomes a light sail that sways in the dark,
and the balloon leads them past the dusty canopy,
where the dimmed neons become stars and promises,
and the waiting shatters with a breath of tomorrow.
