Holding on to the God rail
There are times in life where you may think life is not fair just because to you things are not working out the way you want them to. During that time you may not be able to fully understand the process as the pieces of your journey is being connected, but I say to you,...

Premium Member Old Rail Fence Row
The old rail fence row is jagged and twisting Between the fields now claimed by nature Lie fallow the subject of a realtor’s listing, The old rail fence row is jagged and twisting As I look over the land my eyes are misting, I miss the rustic place of my birth, for sure The old rail fence row is jagged and...

Premium Member Three Tracks In One Rail
Two Loves No two loves are quite the same; I guess, that's why it's love – if not, duplication would be to blame...nothing worth holding on-to. Humane Nature Human Nature I have long forsaken – though the lessons learned linger; having grown far too old to wish for harmony... while never too jaded to believe in Love.... A Stubborn Pumper The heart is a stubborn pumper, like a drummer high on...

Grab the Rail
Incompetent and scared You’ll get caught With your fingers All unprepared To carve the image You have made Say what you know And never forget To grow in grace For you were placed Here to change The status quo Being formal but kind Will help you pass The structures set For your decline Grab the rail And hold on While life sails Cover your head Note the haven And return With the next...

Premium Member Common Law Proposal - Split Rail Intentions
My grandpa built a split rail fence. He did the best he could. He hand-dug every post hole, Sweat and muscle, rough-hewn wood. Didn’t compromise his standards, He was sure to do it right. He made it bull strong, horse high and hog tight. The carnival just came to town, Its gaudy midway, too. Don’t favor taking chances, But I’ll...

The Railway Is Expanding
The railway is expanding So the government’s demanding That anything that’s standing In the way must be removed. Remove the stock brick terraces Our family homes and premises For onward comes the nemesis Of all we’ve known and loved. Uprooted oaks and plane trees Will be replaced by steel gantries But what prayers will fill the chantries For the soul that’s being...

Tears On the Iron Rail
Bodies crammed shoulder to shoulder Packed in wooden cattle cars Their destination to them unknown; Men, women, and children, Old, young, and grown. Bodies standing crowded and pressed against each other Hearts filled with fear and despair; Their screams and sobs of anguish and agony Pierce the stifling air. Their hearts and minds filled with uncertainty and sorrow, Not knowing where they will be this...

At the Rail
Golden sunlight softly falls on the cottage by the shore and the woman standing there on a summer day so warm roof is batched with grasses dry and of golden wood 'tis built things of life shaped by man forming all that he would have windows made of clear hard glass framed with metals dug from the earth there that one can freely see all that...

Hear the Ghost Train Whistle
All night I travel, in a dream… asleep since midnight - plus sixteen. A ghost train’s whistle, softly drawn through orange-black at cusp of dawn. The phantom locomotive chugs with each and every stroke, then crests the hill, going faster still, churning out black ash and smoke. From this smoke cloud falls a raindrop though some might disagree, say it’s called a devil’s teardrop, but knowing...

Gypsy of the Railways
Gypsy of the Railways I march to a different drummer My life it is my own I'm an explorer of experience That is how I'm known I've seen snow in South Dakota I've been on the Vegas strip Had barbeque in Kansas My life has been a trip I'm a gypsy of the railways I'm a legend in my time I move on in a boxcar Brother......

The Strange Case At the Rail Yard
The night shift drags on As I sit at the monitors Security work is like that Some nights once the cleaners leave There is nothing to do Except wait for the end of the shift The monitors show the perimeter fences They were installed To monitor people Who jump the fences To graffiti the stabled trains Then the northern most security light activates Then...
