Soul

The train kept running ahead

The trees, houses run behind

Peeping through the window

My prying eyes

My mind keeps busy

Keeps thinking ahead

The train stops

I get into vehicle on road

The journey continues

I run, I walk by

Past the streets, homes

Many move alongside 

Then I sleep

My dreams carry thoughts

I wake up next day

I see another day

The same trees and houses

Keep running behind

All the way I thought

I was moving ahead

Little did I know

Its a circle all around

The Almighty is watching 

us running behind

I realize my soul

My body lies behind

When running in circles who is ahead of or behind you is just what you make of it
