Bullet trains and battered walls

Hearts such as mine 
such as yours
should never travel
on bullet trains.

though the trip allowed 
but a few hours 
 was never scheduled, never ours
w' nowhere to go but forward
into a dark unknown.

not one to complain 
w'you tagging along
the fare's still the same, 
I always loved your song.
 
something soothing, calming
enveloping me in timbre and tone
like softest rain falling  
o'er battered fortress walls.

I enjoyed this poem and loved the peaceful ending too. Well written. Your writing often holds mystery and leaves plenty for the reader to think about. Well done, my friend :)

I like this poem. I, too, like to have time to view scenery. Life is going too fast.
