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
