The train halts For the people to alight; And I, faraway, Find ways to **** the night. I take out my diary and a pen To jot down all that I feel then.
The train halts. And with several others, I get down To freshen up with a cup of tea. A thought keeps lingering within me; I keep seeking ways to be happy; but Happiness is what I (wish to) have and what I wish to be.
And with this honest, humble thought, Hoots the train, I hear. Asking me to get back, For my destination is near. Yet, my journey of life has lots to see, And she wants me to be back on track.
