A Dream Reminder to Let Go and Stay on Track

In a dream, beneath Columbus' watchful gaze, Where the capitol’s dome with the blue heavens waltz, Strolling alongside the Governor, in harmonious ways, Our footsteps chanced upon the city's hidden vaults. Dusk beckoned, a murmur urging us to roam, Cleveland, my home, through the fantasy did thread, First adrift, then guided by heart back home, A train missed, the voyage's lament, a path of dread. Another locomotive, with heartbeats encased in metal's hold, My briefcase and luggage, on the platform abandoned in the frost, A conductor’s poetic words, let go of your baggage, be bold, Tales of life's loads, and the art of releasing what's lost. Halted, the train on destiny's meticulously drawn line, A voyage through life, where loss and blessing entwine, At every halt, a lesson, an opportunity to align, Where dreams and reality, over time, combine.
