Short Disembarking Poems

The train 
Trumpeting its way
On rails
Through tunnels
Busily sliding
Nosily whistling
Arriving stations
Leaving stations
Hearty hugs
Sad wavings
A journey with stops
With people embarking and disembarking
Just as life with ups and downs
With different expectations and dreams...

Listen to poem:

trapped dreaming of land
mal de mer was atrocious
force nine storm endured

time moved so slowly
frightful journey remembered
misery at sea

land ahoy! thank God
disembarking with relief
terra firma joy

when we think to make believe
following a recent passing
love thrills beyond remark
as it fills the everlasting
hope ends without its washing
weathered gray replace the green
like starlight disembarking
as lips pray into the dream
tears quench weary wishing
time crawls through hollow fires
like a baby made of kindling
linking the last of a memory
to hair and fingers twisting...

For wary minds that tend to creep,
the weary mind it so does keep.
A beacon like a lightning rod,
The unbeknownst it tends to sod.
For in its dreary wakened sleep,
another question so does creep.
Without restraint, this thought to bear,
defines me as plain unaware.
Where do I find the left behind,
when it was only state of mind?
The consequence which we define,
of disembarking unto time....

Inhaling the mist on Niagara's waters,  we sail,
Love and romance, in the mist's sweet tale.
As couples, we mirror the falls' ebb and flow,
Peaks of passion, in the mist's soft glow.

Yet a lone soul, lost in the cascade's thrall,
Streams of loneliness, down the falls do fall.
In search of love, in the mist's swirling sea,
Losing identity in the falls' mystery.

Disembarking the boat, we bid adieu,
Exhaling farewell, to a friend so true....
