Station to station

Life is a slow moving train with many stations along the way. Some stations will be filled with joy some stations we'll encounter pain. Life's journey is a one way ticket as onwards through life we go. Every station whispers secrets at each stop a dream unfolds. Before we reach our destination they'll be many twists and turns. Some passengers will depart life early as the wheels of fate churn along. When eventually our journeys over we must leave all our possessions behind. For in life there's no return ticket so just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Hi John, I think your metaphor describes life well. Enjoying the ride is something not within the grasp of many, but I think poets and poetry can help some realize that happiness is within reach if we do understand the journey. Your poem simply states some very important concepts. Sadly certain tracks and stations themselves seem to be at risk these days, but we can't let them derail us.

That metaphor works amazingly well! Thinking about your recent comment, maybe I'll find you in the bar car - lol.
