Last Call
© 1994 Tania Opland
How many people, sitting quietly together in this airport café
Over cups of earl grey, with their bags piled at their feet, are saying goodbye?
How many here are merely covering their confusion about leaving today?
Do they wish that they could stay, or are they ready to go, catch their plane and fly?
How many times have I looked over your shoulder at that clock on the wall
And the black warning sign that says "last call"?
How many people passing bravely through security are hiding their fears,
Holding back tears about what they're returning to, or what they're leaving behind?
How many breaking hearts are lined up by the sign that says passengers only,
Watching us go, leaving half-formed dreams and unresolved fragments of lives?
How many steps will take me down this ramp of no return? I feel you behind me,
But the sign up ahead says "last call".

"A superb fiddle player, and no slouch either on recorder, cittern, guitar and hammered dulcimer,
she is also in possession of a voice of gentle strength that adapts well to suit various vocal styling."
-Rock 'n' Reel Magazine
A tapestry of melodic and lyrical textures blend cross-cultural influences, with powerful vocals, five-string violin/viola, ocarina, cittern, clarseach, hurdy gurdy...
