CATCHING A TRAIN
the embark of a new day
kilters to the hand on a rail
lost beside the meager display
ground down remains of prey
the shuffle of blind insist
a march of unraveled bliss
all aboard a near miss
no time to resist
time wanders a train
the slow motion of a stain
bends back the will
misery’s honor forever stills
a life within reach
belief lies beneath a mask
arms a pressing disguise
bangs at an irrespective demise
daydreams for impressions bloom
cracked glass still reflects
the worlds mass on the move
turning hope in a kaleidoscope view
conflicts try a mind for limits
defend a paradox unseen
the fury to push back mean
runs free while praying for a leash
Terry D'Arcy-Ryan
