Catching a Train

CATCHING A TRAIN


the embark of a new day
kilters to the hand on a rail
lost beside the meager display
ground down remains of prey 

the shuffle of blind insist
a march of unraveled bliss 
all aboard a near miss
no time to resist 

time wanders a train
the slow motion of a stain
bends back the will 
misery’s honor forever stills

a life within reach 
belief lies beneath a mask 
arms a pressing disguise 
bangs at an irrespective demise

daydreams for impressions bloom   
cracked glass still reflects 
the worlds mass on the move 
turning hope in a kaleidoscope view

conflicts try a mind for limits
defend a paradox unseen  
the fury to push back mean
runs free while praying for a leash
