Dream Train Opus Part 1

ve Box Car Blue He jumped on board the dream train chugging outward through the rain heve shook himself and looked around at once amazed at what he found The air was azure,blue and green heavy laden,ocean scene Mermaids swam around his head brilliant corals,orange and red Seaweed tangled in his hair He forgot how he was there Atlantis offered him a hand he swam down to a magic land Canyons rose and ledges fell He felt the ocean's mighty swell He rode a seahorse thru a cave to reach the key a merman gave He came upon a golden door down there on the ocean's floor Seven sisters stood within swirling hair and fine of fin "Choose between us now " they said only one of us is dead If you pick a living wife you'll have treasure and your life If you choose a love gone cold you will reap a heart of gold His mind was full of fear and doubt His breath in bubbles boiled about He swam toward the open door He dove and rolled and hit the floor and now the rocking of the train he saw the station,home again
