Soul Train

A locomotive crying out As it hurtles down life’s tracks-- Sounds like soul to me; Or the wind whispering On every blade of grass Dipping toes in every pond; Or the diamond that we keep In caves too dark and deep For any intruder to excavate; Or the sermons of the Reverend Al Green; Or the Force that guides and heals; Or the reason for existence… The soul, that which outlasts all else, Sounds like the sweetest steam engine In a myriad web of rails.
