There is something so grounding about the rumbling of a train going by, And then the soothing, settling of the surroundings as it runs off into a whisper, escaping the reaches of your eye. I sigh. Another train, in opposite direction sliding by. I see in it the line drawing my potential demise and simultaneously untangling my turmoil inside. I am fried. I am fine. I am so drawn to these tracks where the machine-cars glide, A deep-seated need to witness Their Force, their Direction, to Feel Alive.

There is something so grounding about the rumbling of a train going by, And then the soothing, settling of the surroundings as it runs off into a whisper, escaping the reaches of your eye. I sigh. Another train, in opposite direction sliding by. I see in it the line drawing my potential demise and simultaneously untangling my turmoil inside. I am fried. I am fine. I am so drawn to these tracks where the machine-cars glide, A deep-seated need to witness Their Force, their Direction, to Feel Alive.
