Train Journey

boarded train at birth

journeying endlessly
with little possessions
amidst noisy clickey-clack 

stopping at stations
meeting new
bidding adieu to old

through pleasant surrounds
and dark tunnels

pondering about 
life and destination

trying to make some meaning
of this meaningless journey
by reading scriptures 

seeking to end
this journey forever

I'm wondering if the last two lines refer to you finding what you are looking for in life and that you are not there yet? I often try to read ' between the lines' :) Cheers - Gary
