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!
