Train Tracks
It seems as if
in another life,
I walked these pebbled
tracks, away from the dusk,
away from false confines,
traveling down the spectrum
of a dim rainbow that waits--
longingly
within the distance.
I balanced myself upon the
rails - leaning right, jerking left--
keeping a friendship with the wind.
I flew. Flew above
the fears of others, above...
but not away, and then I settled
to earth - falling off the
narrowness of the rail--
the slimness of life.
