Midnight Train

A bold intrusion has prevailed Where branches bend, and night-birds nest The starry night has been impaled A bold intrusion has prevailed The starry night has been impaled Against the sky where moonlight crests A bold intrusion, has prevailed Where branches bend, and night-birds nest ~ A silver chain is southward bound Where weary creatures rest at ease, but scatter now, upon the sound. A silver chain is southward bound And clouds of dust, rise off the ground, This flash of light-speed stirs the leaves A silver streak is southward bound where weary creatures rest at ease __________________________________________________________ In honor of the contest: "Triolet" sponsored by Giorgio Veneto

Can't help but think of Gladys Knight's song "Midnight train to Georgia" as I read this. This was a gorgeous setting that you created here.
