Best Train Station Poems

Life can
Be compared 
With a train station
Some persons will stay with you 
Others will be besides you for a season 

During your lifetime will appear persons to teach you something, others to show the meaning of forgiving, meanwhile the ones that are meant to be...

Waiting At The Train Station
     by Edmund Siejka


Not far away 
From the train station
Is a distant river
Deep 
Cobalt grey 
Churning it’s way between
Snow covered banks.

To the right
Towering above the tree lines
Is a Church 
Inside a priest
Prepares for Sunday morning Mass
Early light...

Joyous Day At The Train Station


A most absurd thing happened while I made my way
to meet my morning train one sunny, summer day.
While walking on the path I saw the engineer
I see most every day when traveling, but near
him was a box of sorts all...

Two bags of blue taped
To that square shape you call a head
Promising kindness and a safe profile
Click, click, click 
Is that your heart?
Ticking like a clock waiting to attack!...

It had been a long train ride for me then and it had been fun
I was coming home after Marine Corps training was finished and my tour had just begun
So I had thirty days of leave to enjoy before I had to report for duty
And...

A train arrives every other minute.
Every other minute rushing,
competing with the next to past.
Past, passing by,
people crossing paths
but never really meeting.
Meeting, almost; never met.
Met yet never known, or forgotten.
Forgotten, left behind.
The right things always left behind
The wrong things never forgotten.
Forgotten how heavy our suitcases are.
Are...

Train station carries the bustle of people
They’re milling about with their worries in tow
Some stop to see train number by the steeple
Others hope train is nearer than what’s below
The rain comes down hard leaving some in dismay
Hoping the roof will save them on this dim...

In a Train Station

Quickly we had our breakfasts
Then we both gazed
At the station clock
The morning train is late
Everything is wet
At night, the rain poured heavy
I listened to it
Hitting the bricks on the roof.
 
So tasty is this coffee, you said
The smell of bread, the flame...

Are you serious, 
the train doesn't leave till 8;30,
this train station is so dirty,
what do I do till then,
I'm not going to get home till ten,
I worked all day,
getting dogged this way,
it's just not fair,
I'm on a tare,
I'll take a walk to cool my head,
maybe...

I never told you what I wanted to say
but hey
who's hurting? 
not you if you don't know the truth to it all
there's no-one to catch me if i fall again
the wind does whisper to the sun my friend
I hear it say the words that I...

I stand with my ticket,
they are forming a line,
where am I going?
I'll tell you in time.
Will it be early or will it be late?
I look at my watch...but the numbers aren't straight.
The train then arrives,
we all get on board...
fear strikes me inside as they're closing...

I am on the railroad platform in Chicago waiting for my honey, my man.
He had run back to purchase me a sandwich with warm honey ham.
We are heading to California on a Zephyr that has a great reputation.
This is the sixth time we have been...

The train didn’t slow down
I couldn’t get off
On this station

The sidings were removed
Only weed felt at home
On this station

The building still stands
I don’t know the name
The name of this station

It must have been short
To fit the empty area on the wall
There must have been life...
