The Train With Wings

The train sits on the track covered in a splendid frock; the seats are adorned with golden sashes and a sweet aroma splashed all over the passage, it’s getting ready to go on a special tour and you have to walk through the golden door; you must cross your heart before you make a start. The butlers and waiters are doing a walk through to meet the guest before sun sets; the train with all the ambiance is going on a worldwide tour and its passengers could not ask for more. It is the kind of treatment you get when you are almost at the end of road and you just want to float The butlers dressed in black and white suit and the waitress wearing black and white long sleeve blouse and vest with short mini skirt riding above their knees and a bow tie reaching up to their neck. It makes them look sharp but it causes them to sweat. They were rehearsing the routine and the number of steps they should take from the cabin to the kitchen. What splendor sits on the line awaits thee? What immaculate tenor beyond the horizon thrill thee, the sun is going down and the passengers are strolling into the town. I can hear the cars rolling in and the Nuns singing a wonderful hymn, and Julius Caesar in all his pride stir in his grave at that wonderful sight. The quite evening with fun and laughter planted on the backs of cheerful horsemen rode through the amusing town. Women in long evening gowns wearing a special crown and carrying a golden scepter accompanied by men in white sashes. Sapphire, diamond and ruby rings makes the woman wants to sing they glitter at the sight of light and resonate a power that is filled with delight. These are not just ordinary women; they are simple women dressing elegantly. Casual passengers also board the train, wearing jeans shorts and casual attire but they all reside in a cabin that was cheaper. And when the train was full, the conductor did a five minutes safety drill to alert the passengers. The train moves slowly in rhythm of Mozart and Beethoven symphony and suddenly the packed train came alive and the music brought tears to the passenger eyes, the train picked up speed and parachute down the track and came to an abrupt stop, the captain interrupted the show and makes a special announcement. “Thank you for boarding my train he said we are going on a global ride and if you don’t feel up to it you can stop at the next station and exchange your tickets.”I watched the train speeding down the track and the next thing I know it started to fly. Bring your scepter and your crown we are going bring wonders to this mysterious town.
