Train Travel
Train travel
Since I was a small child,
trains have fascinated me,
Some memorable journeys,
still put smile on face in glee.
Recalling of a train travel,
as it ran swiftly on the rails,
Trees ran opposite to us,
fields walked away in trails.
Counting of platforms,
that intervened till the destination,
Bridges and tunnels it crossed,
we screamed, what a grace!
New friends and sharing,
playing cards singing songs
Reading novels, what next,
sleepers extended beyond,
Calls of vendors at platform,
snacks and tea in earthenware,
Everyone wanting it first,
when thrill was more than thirst,
Looking out of the window,
the hair stuffed with coal,
The whistling sound,
the green signal as of reach,
Wish to travel more on rails,
and change tracks often as it did,
Satiate zeal of adventure,
steaming, beaming on train!
