Train Journey

I sit here by the window and watch quietly as the train moves along Outside I see land - wild beautiful land still untouched by man and it creates within me a feeling that is wild and boundless The beautiful trees in many places so closely clustered together though of mixed species seem to cry out a message of love and unity to all mankind I see flowers - plain simple flowers there is a beauty in them - the beauty of simplicity There are children on the hillsides - the country folk people call them My heart sings as I watch them They know us not on the train but yet they wave at us and we wave back at them because their action is filled with some sentiment that is pleasing to us Shimmering little pools of water pulsating with life appear and then vanish out of sight but the picture of life within them remains with me The cows and the horses graze in the pastures some sit others browse slowly along O how I envy their leisurely pace of life!
