Morning Train And The Lady
"Just two more days", she said, train's wheels covering the track
"Just two more days", she realized, fingers counting all the facts
merrily rolling .... the black train quickly, sliding-round the yielded bend,
passengers sleeping side by side, would this journey ever end ....
the lady reading her favourite book, lifted .... her green, green, eyes
pondering a glance out the window, tedious routine - on the ride
weary …. she travelled daily, as the train-clanked o'er the rails
viewing out into the trees, flashing by her like a sail
of sequential, autumn colours camouflaging .... the early, red sunrise
leaving behind, warm home and family, as obligations met and tried
awaiting in the big city .... the train - slowly eased near exited norm
ringing the bell .... Ding, Dong, Ding .... morning train was in top form!!!
