Train Journey

I looked onto the railway tracks Relieving myself of cities grey Exuberant in freighted happiness As I watch the smoke puffs die away My thoughts running on labyrinth tracks Lapping up the miles and licking on my ice-cream stick Touching fields full of mustard flowers The sun gazing down on them for hours! Birds on wires passing by, keeping me company Carried over bridges and through green valleys Travelling through tunnels reminding me of My heart racing, running through dark alleys My childhood carried on parallel lines It seemed in all that haste and change Part of those journeys still define The child I know and the woman I became! 7.5.2021 Sponsor:Brian Strand Contest: All yours May'9 First Place
