Traveling on the train
Window seat the only aim
The sound of the wheels on the tracks
Interrupted by the melody of the Horn fading in and out
Non existent echo echoing for a few seconds more
Concentration back to the background score
Of the wheels on the rails
Stations and buildings
Mountains and nothingness
Passing them just observing
Screeching halt or another train on par
Different notes in sink with the existing tune
Trip taken between troubles
One left at home
Another waiting alone
Interlude offering multitude
Solutions to problems unfold
Chimes of the station clock
Blaring of the buzzer
Whistle from the guard
Train begins its gallop
Wobbly in its travel
Meditative as it unravels
Untying the brains shackles
Fragile before travel
Now back on the saddle
Nothing has changed
Mystery don't bother to unravel
Deep turns as the tracks curve
Head stuck out to see the engine swerves
Quick count of the carriages follows
Images painted forever our minds become Picassos
Rails build ties
Every wanderer on his way
To its tune his body sways
The lullaby closing the eyes
Dreams ready to begin its play
