The Future Is In My Hands

Just a five minute train ride 
But I'm already far, far away.
Staring out through the speckled windows, 
Highlighted against the setting sun.

I'm lost in the future, 
Thinking, 
Endless possibilities on the horizon. 

Slowly, like the train slowing to a stop.
I regain consciousness in present, 
The busy people squeeze together to get off, 
I slowly rise to a stand behind them. 

A smile on my face, 
Today, 
I walk towards those horizons.

Coffee and Carrot Cake

Foggy windows of the cafe on a rainy, rainy day.
Fingers tingling, saved from the cold by warm porcelain.
Coffee and carrot cake. 

A meeting with friends over a tasty treat, 
Half an hour, short and sweet, then back into the cold. 
Home again and warm again.

poetry, 

such a good release,
